Because rdf_in_json.parse() would return something semi-sensible if you pass any JSON response (e.g., from the Twitter API as it exists today) through it.
And if Twitter added a bit of '#':{...} magic to their JSON, then it could actually return properly modeled RDF.
Getting Twitter to publish something that's understood by turtle.parse() would likely be harder.
(I'm still not sure if I fully believe the above, but I guess this is what motivated JSON-LD.)
Best,
Richard
