Change like this isn't uncommon. Growth of a platform and increased exclusivity is expected. - Scam rates and impersonation rates should DECREASE. - Channels that meet verification standards of an evolving platform should be verified.

To claim that the team responsible for this should be fired due to their incompetency over a matter like this seems absurd. I see no draw backs from the implementation of this new system, obviously with change it will take people time to adjust. This shouldn't prevent growth.

Original tweet was probably over-exaggerating, you're right, but I stand by the viewpoint that this change will only see drawbacks for both users and content creators. The design of the new verification is only one detail that is a problem here.
