Facebook's problem is that it has no incentive to fix these issues, which it sees as "features" for the most part.

That's why it always seems to improve its privacy policy only as a result of regulations and scandals. Even then, it only does the minimum necessary that it believes will appease everyone for the time being and until the next scandal.
