It seems the main crux of the problem is that previously you didn't need an actual Facebook account to log into Oculus and so even if people knew Facebook owned Oculus, they were able to separate the two by not having to have a Facebook account in order to use Oculus, whereas in the future you will have to have a Facebook account in order to use Oculus so people will no longer be able to keep the two separate or use one without the other.
It's not true to say that your current Oculus account is already a Facebook account in everything but name as you are not currently on the social media platform with an Oculus account whereas in the future you will be required to be and that is the main problem. Some people just want to play games and for it not to be integrated into a social media network and as it currently stands, you can still separate the two and have just an account to play Oculus games on and no Facebook account.
It may seem strange how people can separate the two even though they are one and the same (in terms of company ownership) but I think the idea of having to have a Facebook account even if you don't want one, just so you can use Oculus is what may be causing some people an issue.
The bottom line is if you don't like Facebook or having to have an account for Oculus then maybe don't use Oculus anymore (which sucks for anyone who bought a Quest or Go, especially to use with VZFit but VirZoom have always been very clear about their product only being available on Oculus). There is an alternative way of being able to use VZFit (albeit not in VR) which would allow you to still use the Explorer app and enjoy cycling in it and maybe in the future VirZoom will make VZFit compatible with other headsets but for now if you want it in VR then Oculus is your only option and if that doesn't sit well with you then you will have to stop using it.
