I gather, policy as written, that apart from bulk data collection, this also inadvertently prohibits usage of any alternative front-ends, such as Nitter? Does it also stop any archival (akin to Wayback Machine) from happening against their service?

It sounds like it might, but whether it stops them from working or just introduces liability such that they can sue is unclear. Likely the latter, but unclear.
