Why does Facebook populate the iOS 6 Calendar app with both Facebook events and birthdays, while the Mac OS X Calendar app gets only birthdays? When will this oversight be resolved?

Seems like a strange omission. What's weirder, I could have sworn that until yesterday, Calendar for OS X was in fact showing Facebook events in addition to birthdays, just like on iOS Calendar. I'm so confused. What's going on? And when will it be resolved?
Answer:

The Mac only gets birthdays from Facebook because it can only sync contacts and the birthdays are on the contact cards. I don't know why they didn't make calendars sync on Mac but they did in iOS... Just contacts, nothing else.

It is an oversight. That's because Facebook didn't do the logical thing and make the Facebook calendar's subscribable - they relied on an OS plugin instead. As a result, the features and reliability of them will be in constant flux. It's a failure to adhere to KISS (keep it simple, stupid) principles.
