The problem is that there's no half life. The bug dies instantaneously once discovered. It's not like 3/4 of the Internet runs "old Facebook" because they forgot to update it.

Sure, but in the time before the accounts are locked out all of their data may have been exfiltrated and mirrored around the world.

It won't matter if everyone can get the latest version of Facebook if no one is willing to use it anymore.
