Has he actually admitted how he failed in his responsibilities? I have not followed the FB fall closely but from the outside there appears to be some dubious strategic decisions at work. It would be interesting to hear him elaborate on the situation with something like “I failed to see how precarious it was to be at the mercy of Google and Apple for our core ad business”. Or, “looking back, it was a mistake to not get into cloud computing for a more diversified revenue stream”.

You believe that a company with plenty of privacy concerns and/or user data handling would've been successful on cloud?

Not on cloud; cloud. Like AWS, GCP and Azure.

I kinda disagree since they've been holding into their datacenter for a while plus they've the expertise to run it

Why would they need to use cloud?

They wouldn’t need to use cloud, they would provide cloud services like the companies I mentioned. Of course it’s way to late in the game for that now.
