I think this discounts the ways in which Facebook differs from Google and Apple as it relates to open, sprawling access to user data.
The alphabet conglomeration didn't obfuscate similar issues, nor would Zuckerberg following suit. Facebook's issues are related to unfettered access to a user and their graph(s) and sensitive information. More importantly that they knew of the risk and did little in response.
Obviously Google and Apple have their own privacy issues to account for, but it's fundamentally different.
