D&D 5E - Twinning Dragons Breath Spells?

I think this is a more of a gut-reaction to the balance problem, rather than rules-as-written analysis.

E.g. "can these be twinned":

Claws obviously can affect multiple creatures over time, especially if cast on a fighter. Are they the "target"? Well, no, the person who gets the claws is the target.

I personally think the meltdown is "But with Dragon's Breath there are Saves! The creatures that make Saves from a spell must be the target....right?"

And that's silly. Polymorph can get a form with a knockdown attack which has saves and yet Polymorph is clearly in the "ok to twin" category
