They write the content, they get to decide the medium. They are not trying to sell us something. And neither you or me are paying them to publish for one of us specifically. It's like getting free beer and then complaining how we don't like that brand and it too warm anyway.
I suppose too many people made well-intended suggestions (or worse), so they're now pissed at the general HN crowd.
That said, I share the sentiment (especially when hitting the "login to enjoy twitter" wall) and also wondered how it can be less effort to create these tweets than producing for $alternate_medium. But I enjoy most of what foone puts there, so I just do a s/twitter\.com/nitter.net/ and get on with my life.
OTOH I'm just happy they don't do Facebook livestreams :P
