yes. its more like a vanity metric, for people who care about such things. it doesn't affect the usefulness of twitter one bit but definitely affects its usage.

From Twitter point of view, "This vanity metric for users" is a very useful feature that help them in improving their key metrics. People try to increase their follower count by being more active (engagement) on twitter, some even paying for promotions(revenue).
-
Of course. Their whole business model hinges on it.

I find it interesting to watch the internal pull/push. "Want followers/know it does not matter/don't compromise content for followers". In the end I will quit twitter if the goal becomes followers.
