I also don’t know. The user in me loves this because it’s bloody annoying to see the few eye sores on my home screen that don’t conform to my theme. But the developer in me sympathizes with icon designers who have to make icons that can easily be themed, and companies (or individuals!) that may have to compromise on their brand.
Having a single color rendition of your logo is good practice anyway (you can’t always print stuff in full color and it has all sorts of UX and branding uses). I can’t imagine of all the compliance requirements for apps going into the svg for your icon and making it black and white is the dealbreaker.
Plus in practice the Android apps that refuse to comply are Amazon, my banking apps and believe it or not my phone manufacturer’s first party apps (and I believe Facebook, but I don’t have that installed, so I’m not sure).
I say eff that. Work within the OS requirements for customization. I don’t care if it’s Linux, Android, Windows or whatever else. Let me set up my device the way I want it.

I don’t think so — Messenger complies, so I think Facebook should do as well. But meh, idgaf if Facebook complies, I don’t have that installed either. 😅
