Are you really surprised ? To me this seems exactly as intended and expected from facebook, this is fully in line with how facebook thinks and works. Everything facebook is designed to maximize profit in any possible way out of people not knowing better. The scheme described in this article is akin to the multiple techniques used by facebook to acquire users, they used and abused the whole black book of dirty tricks, dark patterns and such. Heck there's even one dark pattern named after the ceo and founder of facebook.
