That hasn't been true for a while. I regularly see tweets by people who have no connection to the accounts I follow. They'll often have accompanying tags like "Sports" or "Cryptocurrency" above their name, as if Twitter has decided I'm interested in these topics.
It only shows tweets that you follow if you opt-in that. Top right corner > change away from Home, don't show top tweets https://i.imgur.com/wl91ONj.png
Yeah I've tried the chronological timeline but it always seemed to switch back to the algorithmic one. To be fair, I haven't tried it in a while. Are you saying things like 'follow topic' suggestions don't show up at all on the chronological timeline? I'll need to test this.

Nope nothing like that. There are promoted tweets (that adblockers can actually block) but that's all. The whole thing is just one chronological timeline for me only showing people I folliow
I just opened up Twitter, and it is shoving some inane Musk tweet in my face. I certainly don't follow Elon, but some of the people I follow do, and that's good enough for Twitter (actually, it goes a bit further; it will on occasion show you things from people who none of your followers follow either, if they're 'trending').

I have used twitter since October 2007. And it has always (except for a time a couple years ago. Then i switched to https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/) showed only tweets/retweets by people i follow.
