Generate revenue for us, so we can charge them quite a bit more.

So devs can get credit (they can't convert to money I guess?), and Facebook gets more money. That's just win/win if you don't consider the audience FB "generates revenue" from, and then it also would depend on how much you would care to save, say $10 while generating $50 for FB, or saving $10 to generate $500, and what those figures would be.
Money isn't "made", it's always shifted around. Value can be generated, not money. So making money for Facebook means taking it from somewhere.
