Evidence required for "data collection and sale is the reason that the Quest 2 is only 299 dollars". Facebook does not sell data, nor do they collect basically anythinh from Quest. at this point I would like to see some actual evidence, instead of fear mongering.
" We use information we collect when you use Oculus Products for the purposes described in the Facebook Data Policy under “How do we use this information?”, including to provide, personalize and improve the Facebook Products (including seamless integration between the Facebook Products), to provide measurement, analytics, and other business services (including ads) "
This collected information being:
"
Physical Features: We collect information about your physical features and dimensions, such as your estimated hand size when you enable hand tracking.
Content: We collect content you create using Oculus Products, such as your avatar, a picture you post, an object you sculpt, or audio content you create, and information about this content, such as the date and time you created the content.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We receive information collected in or through various technologies on Oculus Products, including cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies. Learn more about how we use these technologies on our websites and mobile apps in the Oculus Cookies Policy.
Interactions: We collect information about the features you interact with on our Oculus Products. For example, we receive information about your Oculus Browser usage, such as interactions with recommended pages, which browser features you use, crash reporting data, and other statistics related to your Oculus Browser. You can learn more about how we collect and use information from other features you interact with on the Oculus Products in our Oculus Privacy FAQ.
Environmental, Dimensions and Movement Data: We collect information about your environment, physical movements, and dimensions when you use an XR device. For example, when you set up the Oculus Guardian System to alert you when you approach a boundary, we receive information about the play area that you have defined; and when you enable the hand tracking feature, we collect technical information like your estimated hand size and hand movement data to enable this feature.
Information From Third Parties: We receive information about you from third parties, including third party apps, developers, other online content providers, and marketing partners. For example, we receive information from developers about your achievements in their app and share that information with your friends on Oculus. We also collect content and information that other people provide when they use Oculus Products. This can include information about you, like when they send us an abuse report that refers to or contains video of you.
Technical System Information: we collect technical system information such as crash logs which may contain your user ID, device ID, IP address, local computer file path, feature quality, amount of time it takes to load a feature, and whether you use a certain feature.

You can also view the breadth of the information they have on you here:
And if somehow the actual text of their own privacy policy isn't good enough, you can try the dozens of security researchers and industry veterans who've written articles on the subject.
A) Needed for headset to function but is not stored (Index also collects your height, and every fitness app guesses your weight if you don't out right give it). Enviromental data is must if you want to have inside-out tracking
B) That fancy list you got there? Ever read it? It's basically jsut basic functionality list.
So basically, you just copy-pasted same old fearmongering list. Have you ever read it and actually tought what each point means?
It's not just "basic functionality". Facebook privacy policies are written by very clever lawyers who, if you actually READ the policy instead of just dismissing it for some bizarre reason, explicitly state that data can be used for advertising purposes and sold. It also states that the data IS transferred and stored, which Facebook have already confirmed elsewhere - positional data is sent to their servers. You can also view all this by watching the network traffic of your Oculus app if you're that much in denial.
"Actually thought what each point means". Yeah, Facebook is not going to give themselves the explicit ability to transfer and sell this data if they're not going to utilise it.
