I have an Oculus Go that I logged into last week that I hadn't used in months. There were a lot of dark patterns trying to get me to use a facebook login but I finally figured out how to use my original Oculus account.

Falling for shitty dark patterns doesn't earn being called a liar; take the victim blaming somewhere else.

Carmack just announced that they will unlock the bootloader of the go to allow root access and give the owners full control.

As for the Quest, you can buy a Facebook free version for about twice the price of the standard one

It's supposedly 500 dollars more and that's excluding the fact that they will bill that in euros if you live in the EU. That makes it almost three times as expensive.

I said a lie or misconception, and I was right.
