Facebook has the worst image compression on any website, their photos are compressed to a point where they look horrible. Why would anyone want to use this?
I do not see what this benefits any developer over just using mozjpeg with better settings.

It smells like a NIH project to me, but then again there might have been some very special requirements that facebook needed that was not already available in other libraries.
At Facebook's scale, the choice of whether to resize/crop/compress images on devices or at the backend must be a complete no-brainer. Why would you stand up additional datacenters instead of just burning a little more of your user's (your "product's"?) battery?
Not well.
