It’s actually now pretty hard to create fake FB accounts. You will at least need a phone number, but often times they will also ask for ID scan if the detection mechanism will mark your account as fake.

None of this is true. I have bunch of fake FB accounts created for one reason or another. I haven't checked on all of them, but the one I use for Oculus works fine. It is literally two random names picked from generator and a picture of Kermit the frog.

When were these created?

New account creation on numerous services (not just FB) has become increasingly limited. Even simple MS Windows registrations.

I had a few, too. They're suspended now! I think they started looking at action history - little to no posts/likes/friend requests/logins will probably suspend your account and ask for an ID.

Now, Facebook can go fuck itself, but damn the Quest 2 looks nice. What a shame.
