I completely agree with your points.

What I'm curious is when devs stop blocking Twitter on their end. It's a hard business decision since Twitter does drive so much traffic, but I'm curious how many links are published from instagram, foursquare, tumblr, etc., I'd wager that tweets published from services like this aren't a trivial part of Twitter's traffic. I wonder if it would really have an affect on Twitter and if users would bother to manually tweet. While this is anecdotal evidence, I know a fair amount of people who went to Twitter because these services were linked to it.
