Twitter is a much more valuable tool than Facebook by a country mile.

There is really no competition for what Twitter does. 

So now that Google has data mined humanity they are willing to allow a window shade?
Hardly.

The tech behind Rosetta was developed by a company named Transient that was purchased by IBM. Unless IBM has sold it, the tech should still be theirs.
 

I do not have an Apple Card but have been dealing with Apple since Apple II days and online services going back to .Mac, Mobile Me, iTunes (launch day), iCloud and only god knows how many purchases of Macs, iPods, iPhones, Airport Bases, SW, media and accessories. I have also used the trade in and the upgrade program.
I have never had anything but exceptional service from Apple excepting a Mac mini that got caught up in the lockdown last year- it was in for service and was at the store when they were shuttered. 

Facebook is a cancer and the emperor has no clothes.

Google is becoming ever more aggressive on YouTube with ads and the search function has been gamed into irrelevance. They are essentially trying to force users into patting them $10 a month for “ad free” by very aggressive and content disruptive ad placement.

Someone should tell advertisers that such ads make me far less likely to use your product or service.

That opens a couple of opportunities, Apple might stop playing around in TV/Video and offer a highly relevant search product worth paying for that respects privacy and is not essentially advertising.
