You're listing values or things that are specific to your client or your understanding of the platform. For example, I didn't see "random interruptions from other users" when I read that because I know the best way to consume that content isn't on my timeline.
And it's fine not to like Twitter or not be savvy with it or not be interested in becoming savvy with it. But when you see an absolute position that one's values are the only correct ones it should set off loud bullshit alarms in your head whether it's someone else making the argument or it's you. Especially if it's you, because you have more to gain by remembering your own humility than helping someone else find theirs.
Twitter's code and formatting very often causes chunks of threads to become detached, and it's not a simple matter of whether you're on your timeline.
And especially with replies, twitter has very strong opinions about what to show you and 'savvy' doesn't override that.
And defaults matter. Complaints about the standard client are valid complaints.

This nearly never happens these days. About the only time I see it is from the President.

This is literally everyone in these comments authoritatively deciding what the best way to consume content is. It's absurdly self-serving.
