The elephant in the room is bitcoin literally requires the mass consumption of computation to work - the more the better. And it was designed this way. In comparison, Facebook and industrial processes work to make their processes more efficient and use less resources for their workload. Bitcoin will just gobble up any efficiency to do more mining and end up consuming the same amount of resources.
Bitcoin is an endless energy pit. The same isn't true of things like Facebook.
