I don't think it is. If Facebook wasn't coming from a place such as that, then we wouldn't necessarily see them act like this. It's not just about size.

So do most large companies, but they don't all act the same to their customers. Apple may be guilty of other ways of mistreating their customers, but to my knowledge they're mostly innocent of this specific brand of it, and anything you want to attribute to Facebook's size that you can't attribute to any of the other tech big 5[1] should be examined for whether that's really the relevant underlying cause.
