Don't people from facebook see this'd increase the already existing polarization and information bubbles?

Facebook isn't optimizing for the preservation of democratic norms or decrease of polarization; they're optimizing for eyeballs, time, and attention (which obviously translates to money).
To answer your question, they may not see it because they don't care, and if they do see it, they still don't care as that's not their KPI.

I do think it's funny that "news" has become hard synonymous with "politics" despite the fact that columns like the arts, lifestyle, product reviews, food, local events, human interest, short fiction, non-political opinions, and sports are just as much news and are, arguably, the good bits.
As much as my knee jerk reaction is against this, I also am asking myself: how's it really different from my own behavior? (and should I re-evaluate my own behavior).
