Locking this to X accounts destroys nearly all of the value for me, because the data is limited to only setups from people who are still using X. Given how overtly authoritarian and hateful the general rhetoric is on that site, this narrows it down to only a specific kind of person's setup. Given the context of what X is, one can largely assume that X account holders are biased, at least to the degree that they can tolerate the toxic rhetoric elevated by that site and it's owner.
All of the smartest, most effective people I know don't have X accounts anymore on ethical grounds, and don't miss it. If a data source specifically excludes the kinds of people I respect most, that data source is all but useless to me.
