Hrm, actually the subdomains are important for Facebook. They will redirect
you to the www. if omitted and since the SSL certificate is an EV wild card,
it can take anything as subdomain. So with that, they can easily regex the URL
once it arrives to the HS and send it to the right place internally using only
the subdomain.

All the languages for instance are subdomain "fr-ca.", "it-it.", "en-us.",
etc...
