I'll accept that maybe I'm giving Google a pass because of misplaced nostalgia, and while I personally have never used or liked ~~Meta~~ Facebook, I'll concede that for a while it provided a service some people valued.

It's still my opinion that Google and Facebook have a large percentage of engineers that personally try to make them a genuinely good service, at least moreso than compared to TikTok and Temu. But I'm willing to concede it's not as much a practical difference as I would like.
