My only gripe with the sale to Facebook is that it was originally funded by contributions on Kickstarter, and those "funders" will get nothing in return. I just don't see gamers and developers supporting Facebook as much as they supported Oculus... which makes it seem like they did something sleazy by selling to FB.

I backed them on kickstarter and got my dev kit as a result. I'm really unhappy about FB being the first to bring VR to the masses, but it doesn't have anything to do with kickstarter.
Thats because they didn't buy equity. They bought the rights to a future copy of a product. If they didn't deliver maybe you can sue them.
