I have no recollection if Twitter has ever claimed this is its purpose, but for all intents and purposes that was the supposed value add of Twitter wasn't it? Public figures / organizations can use our platform to communicate with the entire world near instantaneously?

Twitter has just shown it's not reliable for one of its supposed core use cases. At least if you don't buy a twitter blue account? Passing the buck here is not right either.
