One didn't need FB account at the start either. Nothing says they won't bring it back despite backlash.
Even if they have now changed their opinion on what can be done a large amount of damage is done. No-one will actively monitor that have their changed their terms. I was also under the impression that it's FB account and do the tiniest mistake and you lose it all. Thankfully it's just FB account so unlike with Google no real damage will be done.
Even if the things are better now I kinda have moved on, like many others.
For a more managed option, there’s SideQuest:

Also Meta itself offers AppLab which is a less strictly curated app store.
Meta desperately wants you to write apps for the Quest platform. Nobody is getting banned. (You don’t need a FB account anymore either.)
