Can’t you already post through the Facebook API, just in a non-standardized format? I know you can’t anymore for Instagram, but I thought that third parties could post to your feed with your authorization.

The API can post to Pages and Groups (with Facebook's approval and review of your use case), but not to personal profiles.

(It used to be possible, but they removed that API after Cambridge Analytica.)
