At the point that you've given money to facebook when you bought their product, haven't you already done that?

Fortunately, I haven't.

Then you already have a problem with using an Oculus device regardless of what sort of account you can sign in with, they've owned Oculus since 2014

That's right, I didn't know. Well, rephrase that to a less radical standpoint, then: "upon which the decision of not wanting to use Facebook rests".
In any case, I personally have never owned an Oculus or anything related to Facebook.
EDIT: I didn't know that Facebook bought Oculus some time ago, back in 2014--for some reason I thought it happened far more recently. I would make the case above for someone who had bought an Oculus device before Facebook's acquisition and now would be forced to use its platform, then. I don't have anything to do with Facebook, personally. I don't even use WhatsApp, so there's that for my moral integrity.
