I think this is largely a straw man, or taking an extreme case as representative.
I have friends that are not on Facebook. It requires more effort to stay in touch with them (for example, calling them on the phone) but it's doable. I don't see how a thing that was invented 10 years ago is now the sole method of communication with loved ones.
That said, I agree it's not without cost to delete Facebook.

Again, this is implying that the cost of another solution to all those problems is very high, and facebook is a very cheap, convenient solution.
So privacy is not important enough to justify those costs.
People should be more charitable.
They said that they must stay in touch with these people and that these people can’t seem to use other things. Often times you have to stay in contact with family members because they aren’t able to properly care for themselves. Those same people may not have the ability to easily change how they interact with the digital world due to mental health issues and you have no choice but to meet them where they are.
