The GDPR does not allow international players to store data on EU citizens without conforming to the rules. So if FB leaves in order to avoid conformance, then they have to delete all EU citizen data.

The point is without a European corporate presence the EU loses its ability to enforce GDPR.
You are right, this might be the case, someday.. but as long as they have their tax-free money parked in the EU, removing all legal entities from the EU will be very expensive..
Can ads be sold internationally that easily?
No idea but GDPR gives folks a lot of reason to figure it out.
