As one of the Tor users who connects to services where I have to use my real name (e.g., my banks), I think it's not helpful to make assumptions about everyone's use case. Part of why I use Tor is to keep my ISPs from snooping on what I'm doing, and it's possible some of these millions of facebook users are doing the same.
We will never know the breakdown of the Facebook users by the reason why they use Tor. However, surely many of them are under repressive regimes and do not want their ass kicked for what they write on Facebook. Protecting them is fine purpose and anyhow, Tor has no control over how people use the network and certainly not over why they use it.
