Meta is not the one at fault here. This is like blaming the garbage collector for you throwing out classified documents. Maybe they looked, maybe they didn't. But it's on you, not them. I mean it is on them too if they took advantage of it, but it's not obvious that's what happened here. It looks like gross negligence on the part of these tax web applications at minimum.

Not complying with the tax prep company’s requests is a bit suspect - we’ll see what happens, but it wouldn’t be impossible that Meta knew they had sensitive data and were taking advantage of it.
