You run Windows applications locally and no-one but you has control about what you do with your Windows installation (mostly). Microsoft simply could not pull applications even if they wanted to.
Embrace your freedom by utilising it. Consider how the future might look like if everything is "in the cloud", remote and you are at the provider's grace to be allowed to access your tools and data.
Disclaimer: I run Linux because it is convenient and I think a gnu are cute animals (as in: I am not an extremist loony).
There was something about Windows Media player being able to revoke a local media file that was in breach of whatever the rule for the day was, wasn't there? Sorry about being vague but it's years since I was in Microsoft land. But yeah, this kind of stuff by Facebook surprises me not in the slightest. As a software company, would you be bothered getting into the compliance game? That's like being a software house and a cop shop.
