Facebook still has not made any desktop apps available, leading me to rely on a hodgepodge of 3rd party, electron-esque shells to provide a desktop experience.
This is despite their mobile apps being the most minutes used apps of any company. Even then, they tried to go with a electron-esque approach and only backed off when the performance and UX tradeoffs became unacceptable.
If one of the most profitable companies in the world can't see the business case for supporting a first party desktop ecosystem, it's very hard to believe many other companies have the justification.
This isn't an engineering problem, it's a business problem.
