Good point, maybe it was originally?
But Twitter is no longer SMS based so forcing people to use their shortener shouldn't be necessary any more. Twitter nowadays say t.co is still compulsory and they use t.co to "measure information"...

  @float13 @feditips are you sure the reason they do that is to track people
  
  twitter's original limits were based around SMS messages. you literally couldn't just send more (the carriers didn't allow it.)
