You don't need a facebook account a meta account was available as an alternative. That's great right? Much better!!!

Actually yes. The problem with needing a Facebook account was that it was part of an unrelated service (social network, messenger, etc.) that you couldn't separate. Meta accounts are separate accounts for VR only, much like the previous Oculus accounts.

Makes me think...

It really is better.

I don't trust them not to associate these accounts together with Facebook accounts internally. But that's a bit conspiracyish.

Well considering they basically did just that with Instagram and WhatsApp, it wouldn't be surprising if they did.
