Yeah, when I was working on an SMS app, I briefly considered doing something similar. The variety of ways companies break these shared services is astounding[1], and there's no way to reproduce without having the actual phone on-hand, and/or decompiling the framework and seeing what nonsense they wrote. I never did ship it tho. There are definitely some non-shady useful reasons to do this, but Facebook has sorta lost my default assumption of not-evil, yea.
