That's not true. Frankly, it's clear you simply don't know what you're talking about.
They've built an entire monetization engine around it, made a TON of improvements around how media works, added several new formats, built a ton of anti-spam detection/eradication/moderation that works at scale and makes the product actually usable, launched in so many countries with language/accessibility support, and so much more that Instagram couldn't have done as a standalone company.
When Facebook bought Instagram, it was just a speck - it wasn't even a business. It's not even close to the juggernaut it is today.
There's a ton of stuff that goes into scaling products like this. If you want to have a rational conversation about this you have to go deeper than using all caps CLONE. You don't go from 27M to >2B users and from $0 to >$25B in revenue just...randomly.
