What sort of ridiculous nitpicking is this? First, FB does have a Payments feature, so if you are being pedantic, it does deal with one's financial world. Second, for a lot of people, their FB profile has a lot of confidential information, and is tied to their personal identity so they can't have the risk of it being compromised based on leaked passwords or whatever. It may not matter for you, but I am happy that they are safeguarding my account just the way a bank would.

There's nothing nitpicky in anything I wrote. FB is not a bank. And it can not be used as someone's financial institution. >"Second, for a lot of people, their FB profile has a lot of confidential information, and is tied to their personal identity so they can't have the risk of it being compromised based on leaked passwords or whatever." Who puts "confidential information" on FB? FB is based on the premise of voluntarily sharing" information. If people are willing to share information on a social networking site it can't really be considered "confidential" or even "sensitive" to you can it? Also FB is not one's identity, despite what FB would like you to believe that it is.
