While this is true, I managed to bypass the Facebook login requirement through a workaround and the Quest 2 has apparently recently been rooted. The method has yet to be made public yet but it's only a matter of time.

Even so, why would I want to support this behavior? There are plenty of other headsets on the market.

I cannot disagree though I would point out that nothing in the market really comes close to matching the value for money that the Quest 2 provides.

However, by bypassing the Facebook requirement, I like to believe that I'm screwing them over by depriving them of the personal data that they likely wanted to use to subsidise the low price of the headset.

What "workaround", can you share details?

Just search it on Youtube. I normally hate comments like this but I have reasonable reluctance to explicitly detail the workaround on a site where FAANG employees (and employers) frequent.
