Yup, their first order of business is to optimize for the widest swath of users. That being said, as feeds become more customized, I'm sure you'll start seeing more rich articles if that's what you desire.
Twitter delivers desirable information because the user curates it strongly (it's normal to follow/unfollow users over time), but Facebook will likely replace that effort with algorithms.

They've had over a decade to get there, and as far as I can tell, they're moving the opposite direction they'd need to do what you claim they will. They're doing their best to become irrelevant and die. But their users keep clawing them back to life. Eventually either FB or the users will figure their shit out, and part ways.
