Facebook can and will.

The entire reason they don't on Android is because there's literally no benefit to it.

They won't because most users won't be able to.

The permission system on both OSes is baked into the OS itself not the store. Theres literally no benefit to it on either platform unless Meta starts distributing actual OS exploits.

This is very unrealistic.
