A:

You can see if there are older versions of apps by following the instructions here - Install an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

 

But otherwise, this is not Apple's issue at all.  Apple does not own FaceBook, Twitter or other 3rd party apps.  Those developers may maintain older versions of their apps, but if they do not, there is nothing you or Apple can do about it.  Developers own their apps - they decide which versions they choose to support and which versions they choose to sell in the App Store.

 

You can always keep installers for any particular version of an App by downloading them in iTunes on your computer and making sure not to update those apps in iTunes so the older installer is kept (or copy those installers somewhere for safe keeping).  That way, if a developer pulls the older version of their app, you still have it to re-install as needed.
