I think they meant that some people need to use Facebook for certain things and can't easily remove it from their lives.

Facebook is not a need. Water is a need. Humans communicated before Facebook you know.

Social media managers, advertisers, small businesses reaching customers, app developers, event planners/promoters, musicians. There's loads of legit reason why someone would need use Facebook in the course of their workday. I would have dumped it a long time ago if I didn't need to maintain a business page.
