It's just not true in reality though. I see people from young teenagers to people in their twenties and thirties using Facebook. It's dominant amongst all age groups and the "Facebook is for old people" trope is a myth that needs to die out.
I mean, you don't need Facebook to do any of those things you listed. People can still call, or text, or use a myriad of different messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, Viber etc.You don't need Facebook to find out about events or concerts and the like either.
Yeah, apart from what another person said about alternative apps... Events organized by local communities or businesses are often advertised in Facebook only. I know of a few local businesses in my area with Facebook being their only online presence.

Maybe it's because they have to? Keeping in touch with older relatives, following local events, etc
