Dead as in essentially nobody uses it. Apparently it’s used even less than SVN, which sounds kind of crazy. Doesn’t stop them developing it if they want I guess.
Facebook is relevant because they were one of the last major users of Mercurial and were big contributors to it. They’ve moved to their own VCS Sapling now though.
What’s the actual argument here? If Mercurial satisfies/satisfied the development team, then they should use it. I don’t find this crazy. Like others pointed out, it’s not like Mercurial was a dead project without maintenance.

Going to need a source for this.
