It's not that simple. That's not fair to their innocent user base who used that as their primary login. That's why this is actually a big deal, it's technically difficult since it's so integrated, and it screws over some of their users. So giving them a fair chance to migrate off is the right thing to do.

Twitter as a login doesn’t need api access and it’s still free

They need to pay the absurd fees when they post screenshots on behalf of users. So, since it’s not a very important feature, it doesn’t make sense to pay at least half a million dollars per year for that
