Maybe it's because they have to? Keeping in touch with older relatives, following local events, etc
I mean, you don't need Facebook to do any of those things you listed. People can still call, or text, or use a myriad of different messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, Viber etc.You don't need Facebook to find out about events or concerts and the like either.
You are correct, however the reality is more nuanced. Good luck getting any of the old people in my family to try a different app for messaging. You can set it up for them, but hoo boy, "fixing" it when they move it or something else is a full time job and not worth the effort.
Yeah, I understand that too. Becoming the tech person for everyone isn't fun either.
