Why didn't they just buy http://instagre.at?


AFAICT it is because Facebook now has a "not invented here" culture. They only products they have bought and kept in some form, they have bought for the users (Beluga & Instagram). Every company they acquired that had a product, but few users was a simple acquihire.


Why would they need to for what amounts to a simple gallery view?
