I think that this is the case (right now) because of Apple's stranglehold on the browser on iOS and the complex relationship between Google/Apple.

If FB could launch a browser on iOS that was in their walled garden, not only would it quickly receive wide adoption but it might become people's primary browser.

Not that I necessarily think that's a good thing, mind you.

Why would it quickly receive any adoption? Of all of the behemoths, I would trust FB the least here. Not that I trust any of the other big players enough not to use Firefox everywhere I can.
The word "trust" doesn't factor into ~90% of users' decisions.

If FB says "hey install this app," they will install it.
