Comment (by swissspidy):

 Facebook is not exactly known for keeping things in a backwards-compatible
 way. The Graph API is always changing, the WordPress plugin isn't
 supported anymore, .... Will the oEmbed endpoint still be available two
 years from now?

 Besides that, Facebook's oEmbed response is not compliant with the
 specification:

 * There's an additional `success` property
 * The `height` property is sometimes `null`
 * The `width` property is `100%` by default instead of a unit-less number
