I’m inclined to believe Backblaze were not cognisant of the implications of adding Facebook scripts to their site, given the speedy (~12hr) turnaround on resolving once brought to their attention.

If tech companies are unaware, what are the odds that the majority of other companies are?

The lawsuit only applies to 2011, Although in Backblaze's case it looks like a situation where their web team made a mistake building a custom Facebook tracking pixel. They are 100% intending to send tracking information to Facebook.
