There's zero chance Facebook removes themselves from the App Store in the expectation that their users will sideload instead.

Obviously they wouldn't remove themselves. If anything, they'd offer Facebook Plus via sideloading, which gives you amazing deals and new features in exchange for granting a few, totally harmless extra permissions.

Frankly, opting into app tracking in the iOS FB app already greatly improves the experience, merely by improving the quality of ads.
