Today, we’re announcing some important updates to how people log into Oculus devices, while still keeping their VR profile. Starting in October 2020:
Everyone using an Oculus device for the first time will need to log in with a Facebook account.
If you’re an existing user and already have an Oculus account, you’ll have the option to log in with Facebook and merge your Oculus and Facebook accounts.
If you’re an existing user and choose not to merge your accounts, you can continue using your Oculus account for two years.
After January 1, 2023, we will end support for Oculus accounts. If you choose not to merge your accounts at that time, you can continue using your device, but full functionality will require a Facebook account. We will take steps to allow you to keep using content you have purchased, though we expect some games and apps may no longer work. This could be because they include features that require a Facebook account or because a developer has chosen to no longer support the app or game you purchased. All future unreleased Oculus devices will require a Facebook account, even if you already have an Oculus account.
Oculus Rift CV1, Valve Index & PSVR2, Asus Strix OC RTX™ 3090, i9-10900K (5.3Ghz), 32GB 3200MHz, 16TB SSD

Look on the bright side though... having an account means you may be able to refuse lots of invites.
Yes, but lots of invites from people who you don't even know. I find online social interaction awkward now. I liken it to walking up to someone you don't know in the street and trying to engage them in a long conversation. I used to be in online gaming clans years ago, and I'm glad I stayed anonymous because lots of them turned toxic. It's difficult to gauge people in real life, let alone online.

Unless you committed Credit Card Fraud on Tuesday, then no, you wouldn't get banned from Facebook.
In fact, I would say that Facebook probably has more relaxed rules than Steam. For example, I challenge anyone to start a Flat Earth community discussion on Steam. There's plenty on Facebook. Let me know how that works out.

...Also it's worth noting for all fanatical buyers of the Quest 2 that they released the Quest and Rift S just 1,5 years ago before pulling the plug on it now.
How do you know the Quest 2 won't face the same fate in a year? ? With support probably suffering as a result?
Just a thought.

If they release Quest 3 in 1.5 years, and it’s a significant upgrade for a low price, then I will probably buy that too. They haven’t “pulled the plug” on the previous Quest, they’ve stopped selling it as the new model replaces it. Quest 1 is still supported and still compatible with all apps on the Quest store. Do you hate Apple for releasing a new iPhone every year?
