Probably. But I doubt the engineers care about X as they did for Twitter.
Why is that?
I guess because Twitter used to be the place where all the tech people were hanging out and so there was an incentive to make it work properly while now is a bit of a cesspool in free fall and people have moved on to other platforms?

I don’t get the impression that many people have moved on, though I could be wrong as my usage of Twitter has decreased “post-X” - but more because the site is so frequently broken! No need for rendering workarounds in browsers if the site breaks itself lol.
It's less that random people have moved and more that the Safari/WebKit engineers have
