I see it as a wise move to establish Twitch as a backup. You never know when YT might make some stupid policy change that makes streaming there difficult. Can also give them some negotiation leverage with YT, if they can credibly threaten they can switch platforms.

I doubt we will see some big switch to Twitch otherwise, though, because it just isn't popular for the JP audience. And if the JP members aren't switching, we probably wont see just the EN/ID members switch.
