Not that I know of?

Cambridge Analytica created a quiz that users could take. That quiz asked for permissions from facebook like posting to your feed and seeing your friends list. The problem was that people 1) Don't pay attention to the permissions and 2) the friends list permission gave a LOT of information about your friends.

So if I gave the quiz permission, it also got lots of information from my 600 friends that might not want to give Cambridge Analytica that information.

The full friend data is the only substantial difference I'm seeing between the two (which is quite substantial). The current Facebook API doesn't allow an app to even see friend names unless the friends also authenticate the app.

Basically, with the CA quiz Facebook allowed you to export your data to another site or app so you wouldn't need to put it into that site as you're saying. If you were to instead just upload the entire Facebook archive that seems like you're opening up even more data about yourself to potential abusers as well as some friends data that's in there (I think at least name and phone number?).

>quiz asked for permissions from facebook

the quiz asked the USER for permission. I know you already understand that, but its important not to muddle responsibility.
