I don't use Twitter, but the reason I think this is a bigger deal is because of the stated intention to expand it's scope. Taking your account now means you can't use a shitty social media app, but it would be a huge disruption if he pulls of what he wants and shows he'll do things against his users interests if he feels like it. I won't touch anything he makes with a 10 foot poll.
