I think it's important to remember that these companies DID NOT CREATE THIS DATA! They are protecting things that are not theirs.
But don't you think it's their site so they could do whatever they want to ?
Like for example, you own a huge plot that could be used for agriculture and you let your neighbors plant and grow fruits and vegetables in them. They also happened to use water from your house and you noticed that the water bills are increasing so you put in some sort of a restriction to reduce the bills by telling they can only use X liters of water daily.
And let's say, some of the neighbors give you some of the fruits and vegetables so you let them use X+1 liters daily.
So naturally the neighbors who got X liters would make a fuss about it but eventually the plot and water belongs to you while only the seeds,plants and fruits belong to the neighbors.
Here, the plot and water is like Twitter's servers,manpower, API and expenses
Plants, fruits and vegetables are your content you post.
So if you can't get enough of it(land and water), the best is to leave that plot and to look for another one right ?
Adding to the comment, I think this comparison is kinda rough.
That is because the platform also gets its revenue from your data and ads.
In your example, you use their plot for agriculture, but they get a part of your revenue from selling your vegetables.
You see where it gets weird? Limiting usage also limits their possible income for not having users interact with Twitter enough. This nets less money from ads and is, possibly, a nail in the coffin.
