Uber re-wrote their 1 million loc mobile app in 3 months.

How much time should it take to implement a subscription payment?

With all the respect to Facebook scale, more than 1 month would be a failure.

I'm not saying that Facebook did it because Twitter did it, but the timing of it seems more than a coincidence and they are using the same justification for doing it as Twitter.

It's quite likely that Twitter doing it successfully overcame the risk aversion that large corporations are oversupplied with.

Facebook isn’t a start up, thinks are not moving as quick as you think. The actual development probably went fast but the PM meetings, legal, etc all take a long time. I bet this has been in the works in some form since Apple’s crackdown on tracking.
