I wouldn't wanna use a site that relies on any of the above to function anyway.

This is exactly how information about you is leaked to advertisers. Maybe the scripts you load from those third–party domains are harmless, or maybe they send everything you see and type back to the third party.
There is javascript on the page that detects the failure and puts up the error message blaming the browser. Really the browser is taking a completely legitimate action, and Twitter could get around it by simply hosting all of their javascript on the same domain that you visit. If you visit x.com it would load javascript from x.com. But if you visit twitter.com, it would load the same javascript files from twitter.com urls instead. Or twitter.com could just redirect you to x.com. Either way, the problem would be solved. But by asking you to turn off strict browsing mode, it enables Twitter to load javascript from real third parties that just want to advertise to you.

Looking at the registrant email confirms that it is. I've seen the twimg domain a lot as it's used for their images (pbs.twimg.com) too.
just like google forcing browsers to send full referrer cross domain by strong arming w3c with chrome. because their business model depends on full referrer cross domain.
xitter decided it's business model depends on third party cookies. so they're strong arming users into enabling it on the browser globally.
everything is simple. there's no complex technological reason for any of those things. it's all access to your data and money.
the browser is the battle ground and they win every single time.
I fully endorse this use. I’ve been using it myself for some time. I’m so sick of newspapers writing “X (formerly Twitter)” everywhere. And “Xitter” has all of the right connotations for the cess pit that xitter has become.
Every time I enable that feature, I have to write essays to client's security team for allowing it.
So frustrating.
From the page: "The IMS Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)® specification allows Learning Management Systems (LMS) or platforms to integrate remote tools and content in a standard way."
If you haven't used an LMS ("Learning Management System") it's kinda like WordPress for teaching - teachers create course materials without needing to know HTML.
I'm not super familiar with LTI, but it looks like the company that does this also does the Common Cartridge spec (which I'm more familiar with)
To answer your question:
Let's say that I'm teaching at course at University A using the Canvas LMS. At the end of the quarter the teacher asks the LMS to "Export The Course", which produces a file in the Common Cartridge format (essentially a .ZIP file with XML manifests and any supporting files bundled along with it). Later if you wanted to copy that course into an LMS then you can upload the Common Cartridge format and it should just work (at which point you can copy the course contents, in part or in whole, to the new course).
I'm guessing the LTI is the same idea, but for the LMSs to talk to each other while they're running.
Typically LTI is used to add third party components (or in-house ones) to an LMS. For example we have our own Teams Integration, lecturers can make a Microsoft Team corresponding to any course they teach, their students can see the URL of the team if they've lost it but can't leave or create a team.
