They're a global issues advocacy organization. "Their target audience" is everyone, or at least it ought to be if they're doing their job right.
Ignoring people of any demographic or political persuasion would be a serious strategic mistake in my opinion.
By that logic they should be printing memos and dumping them in the Hudson, in case some of the people swimming there want to read them.
I think you just need to accept that clearly the EFF is not getting engagement on Twitter anymore - either because the academic and professional crowd has largely left for better moderated, more interesting spaces (like I and most of my friends did). Or because they are being downranked by the algorithm.
In either case, they're making this decision based on data that they have, clearly the tiny amount of traffic from Twitter is not worth the effort and reputational harm that comes from staying on the platform.

Yes. If.
