Self-selecting sample. People who are confident they won't lose any friends they value through leaving FB are significantly more likely to drop the platform.

My point is the lack of confidence is probably unjustified. But perhaps I'm wrong. It's not difficult to imagine that connections people think they have are so shallow that they actually would lose the important ones if they left Facebook.
