If you aren’t interested in social features, and already have an Oculus account and a device, you can carry on without a Facebook account until 2023. After that, you can live with the limited functionality of your old Oculus device, move on to a competitor’s headset, or try to resolve your problem with Facebook and get back to having a working account.

I think the simple reason is the up and coming Horizon release. It is clear like 'Ready Player One', Horizons will merge social and gaming into one.
They will be able to advertise things while you are walking down virtual roads, sell you virtual chairs and clothes and offer gaming all in on place. Basically world domination like a VR Amazon.

Glad to see I'm not the only crazy person who can see parallels to Ready Player One.

That is the most clunk out answer.... as in its correct - just doesn't seem fair.
Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do to help here. As Nalex said - you will either have to figure out how to work with FB or move onto something else. I agree they really need to think about this move... but I am sure they are not going to change their minds.

Perhaps Oculus Support will have some way to help resolve Facebook ban issues. Maybe they need to implement some sort of limited Facebook account that still served as identity verification for VR despite being banned from social media. On the other hand, if Facebook thinks someone's behaviour was so atrocious that a ban was justified, they may decide that they don't want that person in their VR metaverse either.
