The difference here is that the greatest asset of Ducati is it's brand as a high-end motorcycle producer. Thus getting a return on this acquisition from Audi's perspective means continuing to deliver on that brand's promise of awesome, pricey motorcycles. (Which incidentally makes good money for Audi as well)
The greatest asset of Clutch.io is the technical team and their ability to produce well-crafted code which means getting a return on the acquisition means deploying that team toward important projects at Twitter which could help them grow their userbase, engage existing users and monetize those users.
(Disclaimer - I have not spoken to the team about why they were acquired and what they'll be working on, but my statements are representative of what the majority of these types of acquisitions are like)
