Huh, I took it more as
Trump broke platform rules -> Trump punished with restrictions
Other politicians didn't break rules -> no restrictions
... Fear of public perception and loss of advertising revenue ...
Trump restrictions lifted -> now it's "fair" for Trump to do whatever he likes on Facebook and be treated the same as politicians who don't break platform rules
It only makes sense when optimizing for ad revenue and there we go, I just answered my own question. Let's not pretend this is about actual fairness or objectivity on Facebook's part.
