It's funny because when you want to buy ads on facebook, you spend something like 80% of budget on facebook and the remaining 20% on instagram by default

There is a clear option to define the placement of the ad, and turning off Instagram is the first option you see.
There is a real power in the default options though - and when the FB ads first started allowing IG as a placement it wasn't the case.
i agree, loads of casual FB advertisers surely just leave on Instagram

the power of the Adwords and FB Ads customer base is sometimes overlooked I find. if Instagram stayed independent and had to build their own ad-customer base, would they have been as successful?
