People misgender them, or complain about their pronouns, and complain that they use Twitter instead of a weblog (which they do because they have ADHD and Twitter is the only platform they have the focus for.) And then eventually people get mad at them at having the temerity to complain at all.
Somehow, writing the exact same structured text that would go into a blog post in a thousand tweets is different? No, they just have a preference for publishing information in an inefficient way.

It's a very bold assumption to expect the exact same structure in a blog post (which can be edited at arbitrary places within the entire document) than in a twitter thread (where tweets can not be edited once sent). Editing - or not being able to edit, for that matter - has a massive influence on the eventual resulting text.
In fact, the incremental nature of twitter threads kind of caters to the ADHD brain because it completely defeats self-sabotaging perfectionism by removing the opportunity to revisit and rework previous sections of the text. If you follow Foone for a while, you'll see that they tweet their thoughts and works as it happens. They don't sit down and prepare the entire thread beforehand because doing so would make it a lot harder to finish, if not entirely impossible.

Yes? A blog post is a commitment; you write out a bunch of text, and then you have the option to polish and edit it, so there's generally the expectation that you'll polish and edit it. But you don't want to do that, so you just write the blog post (or half the blog post) but never publish it.
On Twitter, you can just write half an unedited blog post, and then stop; and people will still derive value from that.
They were writing the twitter thread in real time as they were reverse engineering the program. In fact, when I clicked the link, they weren't even done yet.
Twitter is a better medium for this kind of thing.
Curious that you think blogging is more efficient than tweeting.
Writing many short pieces of content asynchronously and being able to GC them from your mental stack whenever you need is objectively a very efficient way to publish.
It's important to remember that not everyone's brain works the same as yours - for some people it's quite transformative to be able to document thoughts atomically.
