You are not using it?
This is maybe the reason why you don't understand this.
For most people like me it is a tool to communicate to over 150 people and they expect me to have it. With most of them i can't communicate with mail any more.
Facebook himself says it's Messaging is replacing Mail for young people, now they have to act responsible about it.
It is like a telephone number you give to all your friends and someone says "Hey when you don't like something about it, just don't use it". You are invested in these things, it is not that easy.

Hook 'em while they're young, while they don't know any better and while they not able to analyze consequences, ie. while they not able to make an informed decision.

I've used social networks and found all they did was replace real life social interaction with fake, scrubbed online interactions. I was never one of those "DELETE YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE AND RUN" fad followers, I just found that I was able to get by and communicate just fine without it.
