If this is so, why does rubygems.org say that it requires Ruby >= 3.0? Can this be dialed back so that software requiring Ruby 2.7.7 can use Twitter 8.0?

Ruby 2.7 has an end-of-life status as of March 31, 2023. That means that known security issues will not be patched. I strongly recommend upgrading to Ruby 3.0 (or later), which was released on December 25, 2020. It is much more important for you to update to a newer Ruby version than to update to the latest version of the Twitter library.
