Which instance? Sounds like you joined a niche instance of a few hundred people. I find twitter to be extremely restrictive, you can’t have open discussions, you either get banned or get piled on by abusive blue check accounts.
Who runs the BGS? It’s the most expensive part, a few “centralized” providers will run this? What if BGS injects its own filtering? Honestly this sounds like a more complicated way of implementing centralization
Effectively yes. It's roughly a giant follow bot, run by those with the resources to do so. If you don't like its filtering, I guess you'd switch to another more to your liking.
Because it's not that the sites it finds just has a bad or wrong opinion. Instead the whole site itself is usually a complete fraud or generated nonsense and it should be Googles job to kinda filter those out or rank them down. It would even help a lot if they just added a button to allow me to ban certain domains from my results.
Because the top results are complete crap, and obvious SEO spams in most cases. If Google just allowed me to blacklist some sites from my search results I could actually get good results.
Also maybe they shouldn't not rewrite my queries for me, I don't need them to helpfully remove 3 words out of 5 from my search.
