The fact that one needs a plugin to do this says a lot about the "Facebook" way of social networking.

Why not put it as an option in my maze on the settings page?

I agree, though to be fair, facebook isn't the only site where third parties have tried to fix privacy issues.

I read once that you know you've really made it when an eco-system grows around your product or service. The same can be said here: you know your product or service sucks if unpaid developers feel compelled to try and fix it.
