I think that's exactly why they went with unpublishing the page, rather than deleting it. They would lose all their followers and data, which is the hardest thing about leaving a platform like Facebook - the historical context you leave behind. This also means that the data still remains available to Facebook as well, so while it isn't nothing, it's not nearly as dramatic of a statement that Elon originally made.
