FB was at one time a web app, today it is a monstrous objective-c nightmare (someone a couple year ago measured 18,000 classes in the codebase). They never could get the web app to work. Building iOS apps is what I do for a living, its really not that hard.

That app, or rather its descendent, still works, and is arguably preferable for privacy and battery.

Of course they would, in fact they already do, it's the Facebook website itself.
