I partly agree with you, as I quit Facebook years ago, and have never wanted to go back. That said, I don't think people who use it are idiots. In fact, I can see that they get a lot of value from it. A lot of genuinely valuable content is siloed in Facebook - you're not an idiot just because you can't get it from somewhere else.

I didn't say all people who use it are idiots. But willingly sharing your private data for free while waiving all your rights? If you realise that facebook runs AI on that data and knows much more about you then you could ever imagine, and if you realise they are selling that data to companies you might not like so much, or what else more, that's pretty stupid imao.
