Would like to point that the work done by the curve25519 team is solid, Henry is also behind the ristretto RFC. The reason Facebook used the BFT algorithm is for pure regulatory purposes (they needed a Blockchain therefore a solid consensus algorithm with failure tolerance). The cryptographic constructions used are quite solid unlike OP claims.

The article also incorrectly claims that curve25519-dalek has never had security audits. It's had at least two by reputable cryptography auditing firms (Quarkslab and NCC), the former of which is public (the NCC audit was done at the request of my former employer and is private, but like the Quarkslab audit only found minor issues):
