That sounds like a reasonable point, from a purist business perspective. I have a tendency to assume the big players like meta have many pockets of inefficiency with respect to engineering headcount, and that many projects aren't very important (or even negative) to the bottom line. Maybe that's not true. It still sounds like they are taking a low friction path, and a little more effort here might result in a decision that has better social outcome. There's not enough info to say that with real certainty though.
