Don't see how the gain from that would be worth the risk.

They certainly did lie.

When I created a new (my only) facebook account a few years back, it was clear they already knew that about 90% of my friends knew me.

They probably interpreted “what information do you have” as “give me a copy of my account”. If they still do this, someone in a GPDR country (but without a FB account) should go through this exercise, then report the violation.

There is zero risk and they get money.
