It's not a bad thing if the service provided offers you something you want and otherwise wouldn't have. I hate Meta as much as the next person and wouldn't give them an ounce of my attention, but I spent hundreds of hours in VRChat and I wouldn't trade that for anything. I use an Index headset with Vive components, so no Meta or PII involved.
