Yes but it's missing the fact that you can't actually drain an account even with access. The overall network is designed for rollbacks, but more importantly, they're internally insured. My money will be put back if someone inside steals it (outside is completely different).

With twitter, the damage is not practically reversible since it was a bitcoin scam.

The analogy/comparison works to a degree, but misses some key differences as to why this is actually worse with twitter than a bank.
