I don’t follow. Twitter is big because of all the things I just listed.

You just listed its components, the question was about why Twitter needs those things but Mastodon does not.
Because Twitter is a for-profit business, whereas Mastodon is not.
And they are up to around $2 billion in losses so far, right?

It sounds like they would be better off just being a Mastodon node.
