I don't know if Blizz planned this ahead but the classes that got twinspells now received highlander cards allowing for highlander decks to be made. Twinspells work fantastic with highlander as they are basically 2 spells in one.

I'll boop you
I'm pretty sure they were totally aware of such pretty obvious thing when designing these cards, they are not retarded, dude. Also, don't see the issue here, seriously...
This year the classes are split into 2 types
"Heroes" - Mage, Hunter, Paladin & Druid
"Villians" - Warrior, Shaman, Rogue, Priest & Warlock
Each group has received separate support in each xpac
RoS
Heroes - Twinspell
Villians - Lackeys
SoU
Heroes - Highlander
Villians - Plagues
Since xpacs are developed in advance, it is safe to assume blizz knew how useful Twinspells would be in the highlander playstyle that they had planned for the hero classes.
Yeah. Blizzard, like any other serious company out there, works in a planned and very organized way. I really don't understand how some people might think otherwise, they are one of the most important video game companies out there for a reason... :/
to jump on the bandwagon and add a bit into this, by 'advance' they currently work about 4 expansions ahead. They are literally working on Summer 2020's set RIGHT NOW. By the time we were told that this year would be a 'theme', they were already well into development into all 3 of the sets of this year.
So, there's a 90% chance when they introduced Twinspell for the 'heros' they already knew it would go into the highlander decks and whatever they plan to do with the heros in the next set.
Most of the players' deck designing is less about putting random things together than is it figuring out what Blizzard had in mind when making these decks. They do get surprised (I don't think Yogg was meant to work they way it did in the competitive scene) but far less often than we think.
Point is, twinspell is meant to help the highlander classes get around their highlanderness in a more nuanced way than those odd-even cards tried (and failed) with Genn/Baku.
Why trade with minions when you can face for...billions?
