It’s not. Twitter is a publishing medium. Let’s be real about that.

It's not just a publishing medium. You can use it privately as well. Social media is blurring those lines. People broadcast their messages daily to their own audience, whether it's family, group of friends, or the world. Eventually voice calls will just be another feature, and I guess providers will make a deal with the various apps like discord, whatsapp, etc., at that point these companies are effectively deciding what information people can consume.

Yeah yeah. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a publishing platform. If you don’t think Twitter is about public conversation then you take a look at it for yourself some time.
