Because it's utterly wretched compared to 3.x?
Wasted screen estate, poor layout, terrible transitions (no swipe transition when you swipe? FFS), removal of useful shortcuts, removal of translation, considerably worse multiple account support, burying direct messages in favour of the entirely pointless discover tab, inability to copy and paste specific words from tweets...
Literally every single change has been for the worse, and they still haven't fixed any of the things that people actually wanted fixing like missing functionality.

Unfortunately this update does away with two of my favorite nitpicky features: 1) it no longer lists the client from which each tweet is sent 2) it no longer provides a map with location data, only the city name.
Losing these features constitutes a deal breaker for me; I have purchased Tweetbot.
Never installed any update & it works fine for me
