I mean, you can totally "meme about stocks" in a way that's blatantly a violation of the law. There are laws about what you can and can't say when you've got a financial stake in it/something to gain. (As an example, Elon Musk's SEC troubles from his Twitter use)
I'm not suggesting the average poster/average discussion has necessarily broken the law, but there's likely more than a few who have.
And if Facebook went "What's happening in here may be illegal and is too much of a business/legal risk to us to continue to condone, so we've shut it down. We've also updated the rules for all groups in the future to reflect this." - That'd seem to be kind of reasonable.

Banning it with an arbitrary, inaccurate reason and seemingly no clear guidance as to what the lines of acceptable/not are going forward? That's what I take more issue with.
I think platforms have to be able to moderate content to function, but that the rules surrounding it should be as transparent and consistent as possible.
