I hate this "silently", "quietly" words in the titles. They try to make it sensational, but they get it stupid. I mean, what is the usual sound of removing login requirements?
I think it just means that they didn’t make an announcement about it. Usually major changes like this are associated with some sort of announcement, update, changelog etc. so when they’re not, it’s considered to be making a ‘silent’ change.
This is not a major change to write announcements about.

Elon has transitioned all the coders from MX Blue to MX Red just for this change.
Yes, especially since Twitter doesn’t have a PR department any more and thus there wouldn’t even be a way for them to publicly announce anything.
