Twitter's value proposition isn't your ability to contribute, it's the fact that VIP you care about is there publicly contributing, and the flaws you describe are 100X worse on the only competitor that can boast similarly - Facebook.
Conversations on Twitter are bad, but Facebook's are so much worse. Just finding a reply in an FB thread is near-impossible. Even finding the same post on FB twice is challenging.
My local journos, politicians, favorite webcomic artists, bands, podcasters, city councilors, are all accessible and engaging on twitter. That's the value proposition. It's no coincidence that twitter was Trump's preferred platform - it just works well with that use-case.
Nobody cares about my tweets of "hey look at this cocktail I had at the bar". That's where FB or Insta are better.
