I would argue that an organization the scale of Facebook is the most likely place for this mistake to happen.
Log in and sign up pages -- especially on mobile web -- are being constantly iterated on by "growth" and "emerging markets" teams whose first priority is getting graphs to go up and to the right, not making sure the pages are secure. Their entire mission is to make things work with yesterday's technology (feature phones, old Android tablets, and so forth).
On the other hand, the dedicated security folks are focusing on ensuring there are multiple factors protecting high-profile targets, so they're working on SMS as a second factor, Login Codes, Security Keys, and primarily focused on Desktop Web, iOS, and Android. Or they're doing fuzzing, or building robots to chase down engineers for buffer overflows and the like.
