What I don’t understand is why competitors can’t just make an actual twitter clone with the associated resources instead of some variation like threads or blue sky. Just make a performant clone to begin with and then iterate from that point out.

You need a way to bootstrap the social network. A pure clone with no users has very little to attract anyone.

Yeah but one of the big players could do it and successfully route their users there.

Isn't that precisely what Threads did?
