It's not really incompetence by Facebook either. Facebook is strategically distancing itself from iOS by making the iOS native application almost identical to the HTML5 application in user experience (look at the previous iOS app by Joe Hewitt -- it was much better -- they didn't degrade it for no reason). Seriously, I can't immediately tell the difference between using it on iOS or from within Mobile Safari.
That way, they're protected when they get into a real pissing war with Apple -- if Apple pulls their app from the store for whatever reason, they have gotten their entire user base used to a Mobile Safari-quality experience.
