That's because Google remains Alphabet's most used product. I've theorized for years that Facebook massively benefits from all the negative coverage because Facebook itself isn't that popular anymore.

I would guess that if you were to split up FB into FB business pages, FB personal pages, Instagram, and Whatsapp, that FB personal pages would be the lowest-used product by a sizeable margin. If they rebrand along those lines, I'm guessing they could convince the public of that as well and lawmakers wouldn't be able to get their grubby regulating hands on it.

Certainly the "news feed" has to be the most used feature? From shoulder surfing some Fb users, it seems like users spend most of their time scrolling until something triggers a response. Then back to scrolling...
