In my experience this attitude is pretty common.

I cannot believe "people" like this actually exist

I mean, you're looking at Twitter.

It's no different than any other common platform. Ask a bunch of FB Messenger users to jump on a group text because one person doesn't have a Meta account, or ask a WhatsApp user to interact with anyone outside that app.

That's true but it's neither an app or a common platform.
It's an exclusive one, hence the headline.

You're right, it's not an app, it's a communication platform -- much bigger.

And, with Apple's marketshare in North America, it's more common than almost any app.

I mean, that's obviously a sarcastic exaggerated joke.
