If you didn't have the patent grant, then the default position would be that Facebook could take legal action against you if your use of React infringed any relevant patent they hold, whether you had sued them first or not.

Ignoring (wilfully or otherwise) the PATENTS file doesn't make you any better off.

And it's existence doesn't make me any worse off? It only grants patents that I wouldn't by default have?

IANAL, but yes, that is my understanding.
