I thought most of the reasons - not being welcomed to modifying git - were known already for someone who went looking, but seeing the quotes from ex facebookers is interesting.

I’d be more interested in why facebook ditched mercurial for their own. Once they left more and more notable projects left, though for more than that as reason. The mercurial project is still under development but it feels like a ghost town. It’s a shame as I much prefer mercurial to git but it’s difficult to choose as an option when the integrations and tooling is lacking, and new tool development is less likely to integrate with mercurial when it has so little resources behind it.
