But Facebook also tracks people who do not have accounts, and people who pay for services. No way out.

This isn't entirely true. There is a way out. Media outlets who publish things like "Facebook Showed Me My Data Is Everywhere And I Have Absolutely No Control Over It" could also remove the Facebook scripts and widgets from their sites and write articles to the effect that it's a good decision. The way out of it is to stop with trying to shock people with the fact that they're being tracked and start taking proactive measures to prevent it in the future.

There's some logical fallacy at play when people truly believe that Facebook is the sole perpetrator of this issue.

The logical fallacy is your own, nobody in the article, or the comments believes Facebook is the only party doing this.
