Developer Downpour Interactive and publisher Coatsink (we love Coatsink for bringing us the fantastic Shadow Point, one of our highest rated puzzlers on Quest) announced that Onward will be out for Quest on the 30th, and priced at $24.99 RRP.
While the Quest’s graphics obviously can’t match the PCVR version, the screenshots we’ve seen so far are very promising

The Mobile platform and OS are entirely different from the OS (e.g.
Windows) running on a PC. Are you suggesting that developers are going
to only build mobile apps and never build PC apps again?I have no idea what Oculus are going to do. You can already play top notch PC -VR games using Oculus Quest and link according to some people on this forum. I haven't tried the Oculus Quest myself though to see how well it works.
You posted asking the question "If Quest Link is the end of Rift/PCVR then why all the ports". I just gave you what I thought could be a reason, but off-course I have no idea what Oculus are planning to do, nobody does until they announce something.

Others who have talked about it on this forum haven't over-sold Quest's abilities to run PCVR. I can only think of one poster who pretends Quest is as good as Rift. But that seems intentional hyperbole.

Perhaps you should post for help in the Quest forum on using Link. I am sure there would be others that could offer assistance.
But I also can see where some just might not be able to get it, perhaps due to their rig, conflicts with their system, poor choice of cable, etc etc.
Obviously I have no problem being critical of Oculus for things I wish they had done differently,

It's really easy, and lacks in quality compared to Rift. Nobody needs help seeing this fact, just a pair of eyes.But I also can see where some just might not be able to get it, perhaps due to their rig, conflicts with their system, poor choice of cable, etc etc.
My rig can run Lone Echo very well, and Quest doesn't push the boundaries at all graphically. Also, Quest can be used for PCVR via Virtual Desktop as well. The outcome is the same. If you haven't tried that yet - which it seems you haven't since you only talk about Link - then... post for help on the Quest forum.
Between YouTube, reddit, FB VR Groups, and this forum... you might literally be the only person pretending that Quest runs PCVR as good as a PCVR HMD.

You might be one of the only people that can't see how good Quest with Link does.
Here is a clue for you
As far as Quest with LInk - suggest you get your eyes checked.

It's good for what it does, but it isn't good enough to replace PCVR. There's a big difference.
You're riding around town in a scooter and telling sports car drivers that your ride is just as good because your scooter plays sports car videos. Cute.You still need to process the biggest clue that developers are sending you. PCVR titles are being actively ported to Quest instead of relying on Link, because running Link is total arse when there are better options, such as running it native or using a PCVR headset.Here is a clue for you
It's not even much of a clue, just a literal observation. Much like the suns rays are clues that the sun is hot.As far as Quest with LInk - suggest you get your eyes checked.
My eyes allowed me to read a statement where Oculus said they are doubling down on the Rift, and when your eyes read it... you said the words didn't exist. Considering how your eyes are working, you may need your head checked lol

You do recall Oculus stating before the pandemic hit how surprised they are with the boost of sales of Quest after Link was introduced. Hell they had trouble filling all the pre-orders of the Oculus Link cable, and then keeping them in stock.

So you read that, but still can't read where Oculus said they are doubling down in the Rift?
ROTFLMAO.
You are just too dang funny.
