The Twitter API is now effectively unmaintained
The blog is over a month old, the api is still up and running. I’m not exactly how this is on page 1 of HN?

Unmaintained APIs are generally not a problem as long as the underlying platform doesn't change. Let's talk again in 18 months.

Because complaining about how badly Twitter is run about as popular as claiming depositors are investors in SVB.

up and running is different from "unmaintained"

Yes, I view keeping the lights on generally different from continuous improvement and new development. The api is not accidentally online still, so it would be reductive to say zero people are in charge and aware of it being online and available.
