Even among "privacy-conscious webizen", I take privacy seriously, I have my Nextcloud homelab, private email, use uBlock, use Wireguard on my phone, and use Linux, yet I have an Oculus Quest 2 with a Facebook account, because that kind of tracking is frankly not worrying to me. I use it to play video games. Of all the places where they can track my interest this is not one I worry about.

Amongst "normal" people Facebook is simply not a dealbreaker. My real concern with VR adoption is much more that my family simply does not see it as interesting.

To be fair the Oculus Quest 2 has literally 4 (5?) cameras and internal view of your house, so it's potentially even more invasive than tracking on the web. I own one too but this is something that bothers me every time I take it out of the box.
