Twitter does hold to the original logic. Yes a lot of randos have blue ticks, but they could potentially be impersonated as well. You have a point in that having a blue tick gives them legitimacy, but you could blame their employers or readers just as much. I suggest if you don't like what you see... you avoid using Twitter in that way? Presumably you see these things because you follow them or people that engage with their content, or you seek it out.
