I mean a comparable situation is Vader Immortal, a game which was entirely funded by Oculus to sell their hardware, but is available on the PSVR anyway because it was just money-on-the-table not to release it.
I think they'll do it because (this is a divisive prediction) I think Facebook will, within a year, cut off Oculus Link's support for SteamVR, or do something to screw up Oculus support for Steam, because at present, the existince of that functionality is of no value to Oculus. It used to be to sell more headsets, but Oculus Quest 2 has become Facebook's new big seller and they have no need of it - it actively harms them at this stage. Like Oculus Link will become just for those who have purchased Oculus store exclusives (which will dry up) and developers, who will need to pay a fee of some sort. The Quest 1&2 are collectively by far the most popular headsets on Steam right now.
