I don't understand.

Instagram == Facebook.

Facebook is being hit left and right for giving away too much user data (which I agree with).

Facebook takes steps and decides to close its data doors immediately.

People complaint about the doors being closed.

Different people in each case -

Facebook have an API to export data - team privacy are loudly outraged, team data-portability are quietly happy.

Facebook lock down their APIs - team privacy are quietly happy, team data-portability are loudly outraged.

The end result being that no matter what happens, there will be a fairly consistent supply of outrage - the only question is do you want it from one side, the other side, or a bit of both?
