Considering the unrelenting data snatching capacity of the desktop app, there are only 3 plausible reasons Facebook, a company so maliciously money hungry that it might just prove the absence of god, would choose to deprecate it
1: something is fundamentally wrong with the app and they feel they are liable for greater damages than their potential profits
2: they’ve improved their data collection on browsers to the point that both methods are equally profitable
3: they don’t believe they need the money. (This one sincerely terrifies me)
