Because the richest guy on the planet bought one of the most popular social networks, now runs it as a massive right-wing propaganda machine, and ignoring it isn’t going to make it go away or stop mattering.
Likely because those are vastly under populated compared to Xitter. When running promo, you have to go where the people are sadly. It’s harder to make people come to you.

Again, ignoring the existence of X won’t make X go away or stop mattering.
