And despite that I can’t believe some people are still not highly skeptical of federating with meta as though there isn’t over a decade of privacy infringing business practices.

That is likely a benefit but let’s be honest the real reason is that a web version would require a lot of additional overhead especially to staff enough engineers.
A web wrapper for the platform would be effectively no effort, especially for a company like Facebook. The difficulties would be losing out on tracking data and dealing with annoyances like adblock

It’s for the data harvesting they get from your phone.
Twitter had the most data harvesting with news sites embedding tweets. Can’t do that with an app and no web.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are working on something now and just wanted to get the app out as an mvp.
