But then, aren't Adblock Plus/uBlock Origin violating the ToS by altering the 'Facebook experience' as well? They're still there on the Web store.

They don't have 'Facebook' in the name. Probably much easier for them to go after trademark infringement.

Yes, that's what I meant by my comment that hiding ads is probably ok for them, it's only the name that they're concerned about.
