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.
I use discord and text messaging for my family. People keep telling me to get Facebook for marketplace but I'll use other sites for that.
I mostly use Signal and SMS for a few people. Facebook isn't worth it just for Marketplace. Online shopping isn't that important, let alone for second hand goods.
