I think we agree on Twitter generally but I don't really get your examples. I also have the "Minimal Twitter" extension installed, and use Twitter exclusively on desktop so that certainly may color my opinions.

1. Seeing the context is as easy as clicking on the tweet. Tracking multiple threads off the same initial tweet would be nice if it were easier, but I'm not sure the UX would work for something like that (it's not an easy problem).

2. 100% agreed that the bot policing is garbage.

3. I think this is part of the chronological aspect of threads and replies, I'm not sure how you fix this without having an algorithm decide which tweets to show, which has its own host of problems.

4. I only see these when someone I follow retweets it, which is almost always something political. I honestly don't remember the last time I've seen a celebrity tweet, but that might be because of the extension I've installed.
