So now that Amazon is a bigger threat in the ads space, Facebook enters e-commerce. It's going to be an uphill battle if they want to catch up anytime soon.
Amazon does not create intent well. I go to Amazon when I want to buy a particular item. Instagram's shopping app may be able to create intent.
