I think the goal is to anchor the discourse around "the gov is censoring speech" and let high-rank politicians talk about it openly, since now they are backed by undeniable facts. A few weeks ago anyone auggesting the gov is censoring twitter would be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. Now anyone who says the opposite will be seen as a fool or a shill. The goal has been achieved, in other words.

I think your reading of all this differs from mine.

What you’re actually seeing is people who already believed govt is censoring speech now feeling like they have evidence of that claim despite none actually being put forward. On the flip side you have people who figured that, yeah, the government asks private entities to control information in certain ways and sometimes companies oblige despite not being required to. This latter claim remains the only one “evidenced” by the Twitter Files but it has also been evidenced by about 200 years of case law.
