If Facebook as it is today is the only profitable way for it to function, it shouldn't exist.

That's not the case of course. A disenshitified Facebook is possible, and would be profitable too, it just wouldn't make literally all the money. It just wouldn't exploit you and literally every single way it could manage. Zuckerberg and the other shareholders would have to tolerate lower profits, but they wouldn't have zero.
