Changes to one of those factors [Data type/algorithems/adding new feature to the official web-based facebook] will make Microsoft hard to keep a track on it. It's true that they need to try harder.
Absolutely, they need to try harder. I honestly don't care what they have to do, they MUST do it. Hell, even a web wrapper would be better for the Windows 10 Store right now. Most people wouldn't even know, and it would be ten times better than the pathetic Facebook app they have now.
They can't succeed with the apps like this, and if they can't succeed with apps, their entire mobile strategy is dead. It all hinges on people usig Windows 10 on desktops and laptops enough that they seek out apps, which then can be designed and used on Windows 10 Mobile as well. There are many nice touches in Windows 10 that carries over to Mobile, and I think it might get people to take a look at the new flagship phones when they come out.
However, if they see apps like Facebook (and see that hardly anything else is in the app Store for them), they won't even bother. This isn't something that Microsoft can drag their feet on, and "it's hard" can't be their excuse.
