I wish this page elaborated on what "Additional domains used to enable parts of site functionality" means. What additional functionality is available when I use the different links?

Just poking at the two home pages (tor and not) twitterhbmit57bzbcjnujedrn7uk73geo4ackio4lxdj6t7w6f4zsid.onion is the equivalent of the abs.twimg.com CDN, so assets, javascript files, fonts, etc

I don't immediately see what twitterhpgjerufcvrmzerg2novpipy42rk3anvb5b7np4zggm4rwaqd.onion is being use for though.

I think they just mean CDN domains, asset domains, etc.

Right. For example, normally "twimg.com" is used for serving images and "t.co" is used for link shortening and engagement tracking.

So they may need additional Tor domains to map the additional domains they normally use.
