Messenger.com is no longer available for messaging (facebook.com)

This is a bit of a puzzling "announcement". Does anyone have more details on what’s actually changing?

I don’t really use Facebook itself anymore, I’ve mostly kept Messenger for messaging. Curious whether this is an attempt to push users back toward the main feed experience.
