Steem is the platform (implemented on a blockchain), but steemit is a rendering tool (essentially a browser) for viewing material on that platform. Whether they choose to display it or not does not change the fact that the material is still available to another rendering tool. Facebook data is only accessible through Facebook apps/website.

I agree with your statement, just expanding on it, highlighting the inherent benefits of the steem platform :)

"Facebook data is only accessible through Facebook apps/website"
so true. the steem blockchain has so many advantages over web2 and there are more benefits than just this. however, this is one of the benefits I spoke about myself on the recording I did last week for an upcoming online summit I am presenting at. we just need to get people to see the light :-)

Yes, the interfaces on Steem can act as publishers as they choose, which gives Steem the flexibility in the same way the internet gives the potential to Facebook to exist in whatever form it takes.
