The reason is simple. They don't need third party applications to support their business model anymore. So why would they try to improve their API?

I get your meaning but strong third party apps really help platforms. Reddit Enhancement Suite and Better TwitchTV come to mind.

They might help the platform for consumers, but I'm talking about for the owners of Twitter. Third parties don't help by a measurable amount, or if they did, it is less than the cost of maintaining a good API.
