No surprise to me. At one point when they had an API, I could follow and see posts from "locked" accounts that I couldn't see from the website. I reported it and they said something like "oh yeah we're making a lot of changes right now" and of course never fixed it (until they decommed their API which effectively fixes it).

They're up against the world, and they're spreading themselves very thin, aiming to replace all of the "big tech" use cases, for better or for worse. They hate Silicon Valley but they "move fast and break things" more than anybody, arguably by necessity. I'll cut them some slack if their public platforms have some bugs, but they shouldn't do anything with sensitive user data.
