Why don't twitter. com just do the super apps w/ e-commerce thing? It's financial regulations, not App Store regulations, isn't that the case?
What are challenges for implementing such "payment" system on iOS that can transfer, say Monopoly money vs real USD? Aren't those almost entirely legal or compliance matters for very good reasons? The Alaskan 737 MAX 9 landed largely intact thanks to still-working parts of regulations and we all value that.
So why not they just do that? Or CAN'T they?

X, the company formerly known as twitter, fairly explicitly plans to, they are just taking time to pivot, in part because they don’t seem to have any real clear roadmap from where they are to where they want to be.
What you call "fairly explicitly plans to" I call "supposedly is working on, according to statements by its owner, who has a history of vaporware announcements".
But also having a history of announcements that take longer than expected, and come true. (Reusable rockets come to mind.)
Fair enough.

not your fault, but that's pretty funny
I see the apparent contradiction, but the goal has been made pretty explicit, but from the outside the plan seems to be missing.

And also because they're in a technical quagmire of their own creation

Could you expand on that?
