I'd guess that the vast majority of twitter users don't know anything about this API shenanigans, blocking 3rd party clients and all this bullshit. They don't know and they don't care.

As long as Justin Bieber and other celebrities continue to post, users will be there.

Also, the typical tweet doesn't make sense a couple of hours/days after being posted. I'm not sure if there's such interest in searching for old stuff.
