That's fair, but it implies that at no point did FB ask themselves "what would someone who exploited this vulnerability have access to?" If they had, they would have realized they were completely owned before the researcher pointed it out to them and taken steps to fix it (changing keys, etc.) At that point the researcher would be the least of their worries, and they would have tried to figure out if anyone else had completely owned them.
However, since they were unable to figure out that the friendly researcher owned them until he told them we now know that FB itself doesn't know who has their data.
