It does not seem like this really exposed any new information - Twitter publicly justified its actions as being about its hacked data policy back when this all happened (https://www.nationalreview.com/news/twitter-cites-hacked-mat...). All this shows is some internal disagreement as to whether that was the right call. By the way, Facebook also suppressed the news story citing its misinformation policy (https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/oct/15/look-behind-n...).

It was already widely criticized at the time(https://variety.com/2022/digital/news/twitter-files-blocked-...): " Twitter subsequently reversed the decision, saying that it had updated its hacked-materials policy and would not retroactively apply it to the New York Post. Other news outlets, including the New York Times, have since reported that the laptop did in fact belong to Hunter Biden and the documents on it were authentic. Predictably, Twitter’s blocking of the Post became a rallying point for Republican politicians accusing the social network of censoring conservative viewpoints. "

So... doesn't seem like a big deal, this is just confirming what was already known?
