I think we need to understand that this will be a highly curated ecosystem, and anything that could cause confusion will be addressed. For Facebook the idea of a new "non tech savvy" Quest 2 owner having a problem with their new purchase (mistakenly buying one game that does not work on their Quest 2) is not a situation that will be accepted. For the Quest 1 owners I think they will need to find a happy medium.

I predicted the XR2 and Res correctly and posted my thoughts before the Big leak. I also predicted an Official Oculus DAS (Deluxe Audio Strap). The reduced weight and size of the Quest 2 makes the fabric strap viable for casual Standalone use, makes it more baggable for transport than the Rigid strap of the Q1 and most importantly is partly responsible for the headline grabbing and enticing $299 base price. However, Oculus are well aware of all the Franken-Quests and Franken-Rifts using the Vive DAS that gifted HTC Revenue.
Mark my words, Oculus will announce a PCVR DAS for Quest 2. There will be an integrated extra battery in it if my intuition about the Code snippet that mentions, "Extra Battery Connected" is correct. Both Enthusiast Standalone and PCVR Quest 2 users will be initially enticed by the $299 base price, both enticed by premium Audio from an (high margin) Official Oculus DAS, standalone users enticed by longer gaming sessions enabled by the integrated battery in the DAS and PCVR users enticed because that battery is really there to help power the headset fully when in Wireless PCVR mode.

........Looks like you're partially correct. An Amazon listing was just posted on reddit, looks like the Quest 2 is getting a premium comfort strap addon. Doesn't look like it includes premium audio, nor a battery addon. But it did take some inspiration from the Vive DAS and Rift S halo.
Oculus Rift CV1, Valve Index & PSVR2, Asus Strix OC RTX™ 3090, i9-10900K (5.3Ghz), 32GB 3200MHz, 16TB SSD

Note that the Elite Strap with battery, which does look cool, does not work with Link:

The link plugs into the area you plug in with the charger that you see in the image. How would it not work with the link? All the reviewers use the elite and have used the link.

Because the extra battery plugs into the same hole as link? (Quest 2 Elite Strap with Battery)
I'm not on a Quest, but I thought that the link cable charged the headset while in use, so you wouldn't need an extra battery.
