Zuckerberg's argument appears to be that Bannon didn't say the head-on-a-pike stuff enough to trigger suspension.
What Zuckerberg isn't considering is Bannon's past. He's not just some sleazy media wannabe - he's a former staff member of the Executive Office of the President.
Nor is this the only thing. Consider Charlotsville:

If a former high-ranking member of the president's staff calls for heads on pikes and and that's not enough to trigger suspension, I can only conclude that the process is more or less arbitrary, or completely borked.

Given this has been his day job, e.g., he ran breitbart, that says a lot about how tolerant facebook is to abusive community members. He and his audience make facebook employees a lot of money and give them air cover in DC, and are a public bellweather for facebook, so not surprising to see the CEO+employees keep giving a free pass. Advertisers only protested for ~1 month and Biden needs to focus on basics like COVID death rate, so I'm not expecting externally-triggered change for 2021.
