The Quest showed facebook that they could capture a non-enthusiast VR audience and milk them for all the data they want because they aren't savvy enough to care or work around it. It was the natural course of action.

Think of them like the iPhone crowd but for VR. They accept all the vendor lock-in and do whatever facebook wants because it's attached to a shiny device they love a little more than anyone should and defend it vehemently. Meanwhile people on PC VR have been doing things like ReVive and finding ways to play all the games they want regardless of headsets and it's much harder to convince them to use a facebook account to play VR.
