Facebook works perfectly fine in browser, there's literally no need for that shit app.

It actually doesn't, they lock you out of messenger unless you're using the app

Get thee to messenger.com then. Save it as a PWA and its like having the app but you give Meta as little as possible.

messenger.com does not work on mobile, except if you switch your browser to desktop mode. It's quite hard to use it, even lots of text become smaller, so lots of people wouldn't keep using that

Works just fine if you put your phone in desktop mode.

I use messenger on Facebook web through. I do have the app as well, but the web works.
