If it's an optional feature why are you complaining that the other businesses are refusing their option to federate with Facebook?

The issue is simple: Facebook will work to leech users away from other services, strengthening their position into a monopoly (if it isn't already in some places). It is not a good thing for Facebook to get access to more users and steal their data.
