I'm not sure why people consider not having a FB account such a badge of honor. To some extent I think it's just because there's such an expectation of it in some circles, that people either give in and get one after the Nth time being pestered about it, or become somewhat defiant about not giving in and getting one. It's difficult to just not have a Facebook account in a low-key way in such a context. That does vary hugely based on demographics and social circle, though; for some people, having or not having a Facebook account is not a big deal and they barely think about it either way.
