It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.

Not really. It might have had a profitable quarter or a profitable year now and again, but overall it was a highly unprofitable company almost every year it was public. That was before the current moment where ad rates have collapsed on every platform which is why many other companies which depend on advertising have been suffering at the same time.
Besides Twitter, a lot of ad reliant businesses are in big trouble this year.
Sounds like you're making assumptions. And I'm telling you that it was profitable before purchase. It doesn't matter where it would be today or where they were before being profitable because both of those things aren't relevant.
