I think they wanted to move quickly to offer a substitute to Facebook Instant Articles without waiting for other players in the market (Bing? Mobile browsers?) to adopt it in their own time…

Not adopt, but drive. Mozilla, for one. W3C or IETF for others. Edit: Looks like you updated your comment. Initially it asked who could competing adopters be.

Maybe it's the change to the News Feed algorithm but I've seen way fewer of these Instant Articles over time for some reason.
