Retweet-with-comment seems to me an instance of being fooled by short term engagement numbers. No doubt it does increase engagement; they wouldn't have released it otherwise. But in the long term, the bad behavior that it encourages poisons the system and may ultimately kill it.
Ultimately you can't do everything by the numbers. This decision was one of that pivotal kind where a CEO with a Jobs level of vision would have said "I know the numbers say do it, but that's not where we're heading."
