The news yesterday that Facebook would be dropping support for BlackBerry’s BB10 should not come as a surprise. There is a cost to Facebook supporting the API’s required by a third-party platform. If that platform isn’t keeping up its end of the implicit bargain by providing a notable number of users, then Facebook will remember it’s not a charity. Facebook’s lack of support is a wooden stake through the heart of BB10, and this decision effectively kills BlackBerry’s proprietary platform.
