Over time, Facebook's news feed has become less and less under the control of users. Now, opaque algorithms decide which items to put in your feed and whether (for example) your timeline posts with links will be properly circulated. This has a major impact on publishers, whose work is often devalued in Facebook's feed through algorithmic choices completely outside of their control.
Twitter started out as an open development platform - or at least that's how it was talked about by some of its own VCs. But starting around 2012, Twitter betrayed the many developers who had built products on its APIs; sometimes even entire businesses. After shutting out developers, the third-party app ecosystem around Twitter shriveled, which resulted in less features and functionality for users. And that was before Elon Musk took over!
Apple does not allow external browser engines on its iOS devices, meaning that its own browser engine - WebKit - has an effective monopoly over iOS. This put a damper on third-party developers hoping to build sophisticated web applications for iOS, because some of the functionality available in (for example) Google Chrome isn't available in Apple's Safari browser. It's a more subtle form of enshittification, but it nevertheless restricts developer innovation.
