Sure some businesses are forced on to the platform to communicate with a subset of customers but it's extremely rare that they aren't on all the social platforms AND have their own website.

Facebook has only stayed relevant because of the natural lag in popular websites (older folks always get on late) and by buying platforms people have switched to in recent years likes WhatsApp and Instagram. But people do switch and people also are on multiple platforms
