Facebook does not really care who you share your posts with. It does care that you stay on Facebook so that it can charge Coke and Nike and other big brands huge dollars to put their posts into your timeline. So, making you feel a little better about Facebook security could mean more money on their bottom line.

Also, over-sharing to too broad an audience pollutes the feeds of those users with likely irrelevant info, making the entire property less appealing to those users. I don't think this has anything to do with altruism.
