There was quite a long period after Musk bought Twitter that it was still Twitter, and people wanted it to be Twitter. We thought that altering X.com embeds so they still looked like Twitter posts was (at the time) kind of an amusing way to fight back against the whole "X" nonsense.

Of course, that was quite some time ago now, and obviously Twitter is gone, so it made sense to remove the Twitter styling in this update.
