To add to your example, the Facebook mobile site also inherits all the mobile browser features that many apps lack. For example, the mobile web site has better copy/pasting than the app, works with browser extensions (eg AdBlock & Stylish) and allows multiple simultaneous views (browser tabs). The browser is also kept in the device's RAM so normally loads faster than other apps.

I know how copy/paste works. I know what enter will do in the context of a form. I know how to open things in new tabs, or go into incognito mode. Shit I even know how to inspect the client-side code of your mobile app. And all the other things that I know because it's standard behaviour across browsers.
