Sorry, maybe it's my getting older and more cynical, but the overly excited and positive tone of this rewrite makes it even easier to see through the spin he is trying to put on it. It still sounds exactly as bad as the original.
The start was a bit saccharine, but this post is laden with intent. Twitter's post lays down the law because they can. Anil's explains that the changes are so they can balance the needs of third party developers with Twitter's need to turn a profit. If you're announcing a potentially unpopular decision, you're going to be better off if you lay your cards on the table so people can tell that you're reasonable instead of a power-hungry jerk.
Indeed. The twitter announcement had the vague feeling of something produced after many heated words between product and engineering. This sounds like what it is, someone trying to sell their own personality.
