If they choose to keep using it anyway, why stop them?
Because, as at least one commenter has pointed out, 1) more & more websites are outsourcing their comment sections to FB, so without an FB account, you're silenced. 2) More importantly, organisations you may need to interact with online use a FB page instead of running their own website.
