Do they need young teens? Facebook is better as a mature communication platform with a wide range of acquaintances and friends. Young teens can grow up with SnapChats and whatever's popular in the moment, and then migrate to Facebook in their early to mid 20s.

Why would they migrate, and why would they migrate to Facebook?

The reason people use a social network is because they coalesce around their peers. If an entire demographic is not attracted to a product, they're all free to bind to another. Grabbing them at that 'first choice' all but ensures lock-in.
