The moment they made you use Facebook to sign in was the moment I decided I'll never buy one of those.
They dropped that requirement so I got it for my kids.
I just set up a Quest Pro and couldn't get past the setup without Meta account
Meta account yes, facebook account no. The meta account is just a renamed oculus account. Has your games and stuff on it, but not tied to anything else.
It's still data I'm providing to Zuckerberg, and I'm seemingly getting friend requests on it?
Yes, I hate that part too. But creating an account for saves/billing is standard everywhere. You can't play Steam/Xbox/PS5 or even Switch without them asking you to sign up for an account.
Before you had to create a Facebook profile for the Quest to work.
And the company meta is just the renamed company Facebook. So you still give Facebook/Meta your data. Who knows what they will do with it
