I wonder the same. The difference between could be that in a centralized platform the users are at the mercy of the authority while on a decentralized, they are able to be creatives and active participants of the platform. Perhaps, tying value/income to a development tract will be the thing that breaks away from the need to rely on the markets as much as FB, myspace etc do as rather than a tradeable commodity, it is a fuller economy with participants that take part in the day to day operations, not just as filler content to sell and trade against.
I mean you can still be creative and an active participant on a centralized platform. Sure there are edge cases that the platform itself might boot you off for, but those don't affect most people in general. Also decentralized entities can act and collude in similar ways in the name of blockchain governance (moreso EOS rather then Steem) even though the underlying data is preserved.
Also the reason Facebook works so well as a social network and a marketing giant is due to localization. Rather than primarily being a content provider, it serves as a connection provider which allows users to receive content via those connections. Much more organic networking than we see from global blockchains with no focal points.

There are more social networks and Facebook probably has some cool features that they swallowed up from their competitors. That would be my guess.
