I assume at $200/month it somehow becomes worth it to keep going as someone's side project? I can't imagine twitter would keep it around for that little revenue (unless the acquihire from last year was simply just a hire, without buying the legal mitro entity)

it seems to be the case. According to [0] Twitter just hired the devs without the legal entity behind Mitro, and seems like with no intention of supporting the project going forward.
