It’s just not true in reality though. I see people from young teenagers to people in their twenties and thirties using Facebook. It’s dominant amongst all age groups and the “Facebook is for old people” trope is a myth that needs to die out.
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.

Facebook needs to die out.
I don’t disagree. I’m just saying, it’s still incredibly popular. I don’t even have an account myself.
Maybe it’s because they have to? Keeping in touch with older relatives, following local events, etc
