Let me see if I understand your points:
1. You ensure your FB account isn't valuable, in order to decrease the bad effects of it being hijacked.
2. You argue that hardening against hijacking means eventually the stakes of hijacks get higher, and therefore we shouldn't be hardening. Is that correct understanding? If so, that's short-sighted at best.
Many accounts are extremely valuable. It can be in terms of actual money, career, influence, politics, etc. For some people it is the primary vehicle for their livelihood. Same goes for many other online services, that open possibilities for people to earn a living, partake in politics/governance, and maintain social relations that they otherwise could not.
