People use mobile more than desktop on social apps so it makes a lot of sense. Eventually there will be a web/desktop version as well(if it catches on). Shortly said mobile web sucks so a native app is better than a broken website.

Doesn't it suck for anything but simplest forms of communication?

I mean, I just can't stand touch-typing anything but very short messages. Whenever there's any conversation that involves more typing than posting a meme picture and replying with "lol" I run for a real terminal, with a real physical keyboard.

I don't know about others, but for me being significantly slowed down with typing is frustrating. And I hope to believe I'm not an outstandingly slow with touchscreen keyboards...

Just anecdotally watching people type I think that the general consumer who isn't typing on a real keyboard all day, is actually much quicker on a phone. Look at teenagers - they spend much of their day communicating on a phone hence they get quite good at typing on it. I'm shocked at how quickly a lot of people I know reply to me from their phone. So I don't think it's that you are outstandingly slow, just that you and I spend a lot of time using real keyboards so we can use them efficiently and a lot of other people spend most of their time using touch keyboards and can use them more efficiently than us.

I've made the same observation.
