Depends on how you define a single point. Single point doesn't mean 1 cause, it means at some point in the chain, there is a non-redundant component that when it fails the system stops. The fact FB could remove 100% of their capacity from the backbone is a SPoF if they don't have a redundant backbone completely separated from the configuration system used to control the primary.

I won't pretend to know the details of FB's infrastructure, and I'm sure there was a cascade of problems that made the outage harder to fix, but it sounds like years of separate teams building on top of other layers that were "guaranteed" to be online finally collapsed into a spectacular fireball.
