Well, I do not have an account and when I open any profile on it right now, I cannot read it properly. I cannot click on posts. I cannot read replies. I cannot open images.
In my opinion, that is quite far from "functional".
Such a behavior alone is a sufficient justification, in my opinion, for the services like xcancel to exist.
And if the X social network does not want their content to be publicly available, fine. They are free to gate it behind a login.
There is no "gymnastics" needed. And those "middleware" layers are working just fine.
A user just opens the original X link in xcancel or some of the similar web service. And it will display the actual content only. Without ads and without other user-alienating features.
I think that it is also way simpler than "creating an account".
Suggesting a burner account to access the most basic functionality of a website is quite the technique to prove your point that the website is the most functional website.
??? Have you never tried to visit X on a mobile device? Functional is far from what I'd call it, given that you can't see replies to the tweet or indeed do much else on the site
By functional do you actually mean impossible to use?
Just fuckin log in?
I can't create an account. No matter what I try, the app just keeps saying it don't wanna.

Then create a burner account to access said resources, instead of doing gymnastics with a broken third party middleware.

So what now, xcancel is already cancelled.

Yes? I use it exclusively in the mobile browser, logged in of course.
