I really didn't like having to go to chrome, load twitter website or hold my phone and open twitter before tweeting and with the Twitter API V2. I just wanted to be able to tweet from my terminal when working by just running tweet [tweet] and getting posted without any of the above hated steps so I came to the conclusion of this.
