It's clear that there have been a lot of power struggles at Twitter. It's not clear how much of this departure is voluntary (i.e., the departure itself may be voluntary, but the conditions leading to it might have been a loss of control).
Finally, great companies have been built without their founders. Cisco and Intel lost/forced out their founders relatively early.
It didn't call back Jobs to get Jobs. It bought NeXT to be the foundation for their next OS. They chose NeXT over BeOS, and Jobs was NeXT's founder. Jobs didn't become active in Apple until later.

Plus, the original "spiritual" founder, Dorsey, is back. It's not like the suits totally won or something.
Intel lost or forced out its founders early?! Where did you get this from?
Founded by Gordon Moore and Bob Noyce, led to juggernaut status by Andy Grove (employee #3)
As did Apple.
But it slumped. It had to call back Jobs to become successful.
