Root and watch traffic, for one. The app still has to interact with the OS.

The app doesn't have to reveal the contents to the networking stack.

It still has to send it. Look at what people found with w10, that's closed source too, but you still see something going out that shouldn't
More importantly, is it worth it to twitter to do this? Is the risk worth the "reward?"
