And what happens with users that want to comment but choose not to use Facebook? (yes we exist)

Agreed. It is possible Facebook doesn't care because many people do have accounts, but I would take non-users into consideration.

Something similar to what happens with users who want to comment but choose not to use Disqus, methinks.

Not exactly. You would comment normally without an account.

On Disqus or on this Facebook model?

I'm sure that this Facebook system could be hacked to allow for unregistered comments.

1) Disqus

2) As plausible as hacking Disqus to allow Hacker News accounts.
