You're assuming that there is a coherent driving force here.
I suspect that its more a case that they literally haven't thought about it.

I, at least, would assume that that would be considered a basic/essential feature.
Whoops. We got so excited about the pool table and the bar and the reception area that we forgot the only thing that makes a restaurant actually a restaurant... a place to cook food.
There's a reason I work in IT and not architecture these days :)
That doesn't mean the company's "collective mind" thought about it, however.
much as it is trendy, you really have to think past the binary $company good/evil argument.
My argument is as follows:
1) there is no logout button for your oculus account. Its not a flow that already exists. You need to factory-reset your device to log out.
2) the team that was put in charge of linking FB accounts to oculus are not the same team that owns the home screen gui.
3) working between teams is a hard problem
4) adding a logout flow is a boat load of work, because the rift os was never designed to do logging out, because why would you need to log out of an oculus device, barring cockups?
Personally I think its a mistake to force linking accounts. I can see why they want it, it makes future multiplayer and AR integrations better.
That aside, I agree that yes, organizations should be held to a higher standard than they have been.
If the product heads haven't given thought to this despite being more than aware of the current anti-trust environment, then they're just incompetent.
