Those people who never signed up for any of their services yet are still being tracked across websites via those social sharing buttons and the like

It is plain illegal what META is doing there. They just haven't been dragged to court so far.

But with these buttons, the websites which includes them are offenders, too.

They are, but 95% of them have no clue what Facebook is using their site to do. They just handwave it away as "add this button and users can like your posts" without any actual effort to inform the site owner how invasive they are.
