There is NO reason of ANY kind for installer to refuse to install due to the disk type. This is completely abstracted away from applications and has no possible impact on the operation of Oculus software.
This is completely a known, arbitrary, senseless easy to fix bug. There is no possible excuse for customers to have to suffer through this.
I am using Rift on a partition with dynamic disks and it works just fine once you get past installer intentionally getting in your way and preventing the software from working for no reason.
The only way I know of to work around this BUG is to attach an external drive and install the software to it. Then once it has completed and you can use Rift copy the entire install directory to the drive you want the software on.
Next from windows registry change:
HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Oculus VR, LLC\Base
To reflect the new path.
Then in system control panel under advanced / environment variables change the section in PATH variable for Oculus software to the new path.
Also change OculusBase environment variable to the new path.
In windows registry change the service paths to the oculus software.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\OVRLibraryService\imagepath
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\OVRService\imagepath
To point to the same files in the new locations.
Finally reboot to update the SCM so services see the environment change.
You should NOT have to do any of this. It should just work. Oculus should fix this bug as soon as possible.

What is the point of this behavior?

In particular external hard drives as NOT supported (as it even says in the error message). Dynamic drives are not supported either.

on what planet is this a strong set up? It's weak for non VR let alone VR.
