> EULAs are never legally binding

Violation will certainly give the social media cite grounds and desire to delete the false profiles though.

Aren't their financial valuations based on account numbers and made up metrics like that?

So deleting this fraudulent account will cause a measurable, definable, actionable, $0.0001 decrease in shareholder value, ignoring it will have no effect on shareholder value, what is my fiduciary responsibility here?

You are not a fiduciary in this context so would not have fiduciary responsibility to the owners (public or private). Essentially your relationship is with the company as a user/buyer of their product or services and is governed by user agreement - which may be a blanket EULA and may or may not be enforceable.
Not to mention blocking such fake-profile creation services.
