Disregarding the strange rant for a moment, is it purely for tracking purposes or does it just use their CDN for CSS, images etc?

(Wouldn't be surprised at all if it was tracking, this is Facebook after all, but there are plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons to use a a CDN)

There's a bunch of absolute paths in the generated HTML that link to inline icons and other chaff. As I'm never actually logged into FB, they show up as broken images when you view your offline archive.
