It's not totally insane reasoning but, like, people can just downvote links to Twitter if they want to, and/or use an extension to automatically redirect to a Nitter instance. The only people actually affected by censoring Twitter community-wide is those who would want to look at the context.

Or those who don't want to see it but aren't technical or motivated enough to fix it themselves

I think it's way worse to keep information from someone who wants to see it, than to let it be seen by someone who would prefer not to see it but isn't motivated enough to do something about it. Sort of by construction, actually - if the latter category really didn't want to see Twitter links, they would have done it themselves.
