If you still think Meta is providing a service, there are likely mental crisis lines locally. I don’t understand why anyone uses any of their platforms.

The answer to this question about almost any shitty platform is almost always the network effect.
Leaving Meta's platforms means leaving where most of your friends and family spend their time digitally, which makes it harder to connect with the people you know. No one can collectively agree on an alternative platform to all simultaneously move to, so in most cases, leaving Meta practically means cutting yourself off from your entire social graph.
