EU regulation and oculus quest (leminal.space)

Ive seen MS is having to do a lot of work in regards to pro privacy due to EU regulation, I switched on my oculus quest which I keep offline and questioned if enforced account, locked in applications that serve beyond base functions and the locked down setting, surely all this goes against privacy laws in some way.

Is this something regulators and Facebook will address or will fb slide through the cracks?
