People don’t trust Facebook but still use Facebook. I believe given two equally good implementations of a product the one made by Facebook will be less popular. As it stands now Oculus is the only standalone VR device and people will use it despite being owned by Facebook.

When I got my Oculus, it was half the price of the Vive. I always assumed that zuck is eating a loss to capture eyeballs.
