Why was any of this surprising to you? Why is Twitter your go-to in conversing w/ a corp entity - do you feel you can put them on the spot or something? If so, I don't think you understand how this stuff actually works.
I don't know how exactly OP reached out on Twitter, but speaking generally, there is also such a thing as a direct (private) message on Twitter and a lot of e.g. airline transactions/questions etc can be handled easily and asynchronously via Twitter DM. So I would not automatically assume that "reaching out via Twitter" necessarily means "publicly"
