Anyone sane has left Xitter already and the crazies stay on their own platform, making the Web generally much more pleasant, as less and less sites link to Xitter.

Outside of our very small internet bubble, yes that's an incredibly unpopular opinion. By and large, people love Twitter, as evidenced by it still being one of the most-used platforms around.

I'm not sure that widespread use of the platform is indicative of widespread love of the platform. People are entrenched, have sunk so much into it, and can't find acceptable alternatives (cries in Fediverse). I'd guess that most people still using the platform do so out of necessity/ obligation while wishing for something better.
