I think the Facebook engineers have a tendency to fix symptoms rather than causes. A lot of their engineering creations are trying to shrink the binary while they might want to consider revisiting all the dependencies that their application depends on, because that graph (and the size of their apk) is really absurdly large for such an app.

Of course, there's also the fact that such a tool is already partially obsolete because of Jack and Jill.
