Your thing and Leon's dream has one major difference. Thanks to those open protocols, multiple companies could build everything apps and compete on service, with all of them being able to access all you need.

Leon does not want Twitter to be an everything app, he wants it to be the everything app that you can't escape, owns all your data, and you can't get on with doing basic shit without paying him money.

He basically wants to monopolize everything, because he's bad at competition, because he's bad at it.
