Before publish it, on April 9th, 2022, I found that Twitter reverts deleted embed tweets with blockquote. So I tweeted and mentioned to The Verge's author, Engadget's author, Kevin Marks who tells first about deleted embed tweets changed to blank, and Marques Brownlee with Waveform Podcast.

The Verge

Twitter has confirmed it reversed a change that altered the appearance of deleted tweets embedded on websites outside of Twitter (thanks to @RuinDig on Twitter for pointing this out). Instead of leaving a blank gap in place of the deleted tweets, the site will go back to displaying the tweet’s original text.
