A fair point. Also true for any front end that relies on an API to populate its data. Hacker News for instance will use a similar approach. If they concern is that sometimes API's may go down and data won't be displayed you can of course chose not to use API's in your front end. If you're not that bothered like me, that this is just. "one" way you "could" use Twitter as a CMS for you blog.
