Sounds a bit like moving the goal posts to me.

You were able to opt out of phone books and they also didn't contain email and gender.

also, older FB accounts (and maybe even some recently created ones?) could easily use handles instead of real names or even real initials. this leak can therefore establish or confirm a mapping between someone's online and offline identities, which wasn't a risk associated with phone book listings.
