Can you play all the games you bought on a Wii U on your Switch?
Quest is an entirely different platform. Games can be ported but require significant development. One is ARM and the other is x86. I have not seen many ports of games that are free. It's a little bit like expecting the games you bought on Xbox to work on your PC for free, they both play games and are from Microsoft, right?
Oculus does NOT make games, they are a front end shop. It's up to the devs and they have to incur additional development costs.

I guess I am not seeing this as an entirely separate platform, but rather another device in the same eco system.

It is a separate device in the same ecosystem, but developers do not code to an eco-system, they code to a platform. And the devices reside on separate platforms. An eco-system can have multiple platforms just as it has multiple devices.

Yup, a little bit like the Apple App store ecosystem, there is a Mac App store for macs and an iOS App store for ipads and iPhones, they share the same ecosystem, even log in, billing etc .. but are two entirely different platforms.

Not 100% true though - there are some cross platform apps that works for both tablet and phone for example. Same for MAC and tablet. They do split their phone and MAC though for some strange reason, but then again some apps companies if ask will honor a cross platform request if ask. Honestly - at the end of the day I feel like its going to come down to what does the application maker want to do with their program. I do hope they will play fair and maybe not charge as much if you already own the application on one device. It would make the most sense while still giving a value to having it on both system.

I made apps for MAC OS - it really isnt that hard to cross platform it on on their devices really.
