I think it's because if they test positive they don't actually leave and they know they can't come so don't bother engaging on FB.

yes what I mean is people leaving Thailand to go home, heard of lots of cases where people test positive before coming or once they get here but none the other way round. Guessing they would just automatically extend visa if need be
