No integrated twitter client to annoy me...
He didn't say an integrated twitter "client", but integrated support, which is a bit of a difference.

though I could choose to install one if I wanted. If I wanted a facebook client, I could choose from several, etc....
Well, you could probably uninstall it. But, if you want a successful line of devices, so that you benefit from them, Nokia needs to be able to advertise "twitter works out-the-box" as they do for existing Symbian phones, or clueless users wouldn't buy them, claiming the phone is too difficult to use.

I am sure you could apt-get remove the packages that offend you.
