And I still to this day don't get the appeal of the twitter model

It's good for when you want to keep up with what people or organizations you're interested in are up to. Artists, authors, game developers, etc.

It sucks for any kind of in-depth content or conversation, including politics.

But that's just Facebook, why would I have twitter if that is my only motivation?

I feel like Facebook is much worse for that, but I haven't touched Facebook in many years so I couldn't tell you why I feel that way.
