This is something that I love to hate: when people think Facebook is the new platform for web applications.
Newsflash: it isn't.
The goal of the Facebook platform is to be an application userbase and interaction system that allows people to be social and connect with each other. There are some non-fun applications like Files, but those are auxiliary ones that are use-it-when-you-need-to applications.
I am tired of applications that have nothing to do with being social being created.
However, one thing with the article is that it doesn't take into account the number of applications that are made by spam applications (read: quizzes and forced invites.) Would be interesting to see how it turns out after that, but it would probably be similar, with a little less in the Just for Fun category.
