It is up to each developer to decide if they will charge for the Quest version. Many apps will run just fine on either platform and usually those are cross-buy. However, many games are way too much for the quest to handle without reducing the quality or making other adjustments. In that case, a developer may conclude that they have developed a "new" game based on the amount of time they invested.
So, a developer might just as easily say it's not fair that I had to put in all this effort to essentially port my game to a different platform and not get paid for it. I'm not going to take a position on which is actually the "fair" practice here, but I can understand why people (including myself) were frustrated to have to buy certain games twice (looking at you Beat Saber), but I can also understand why someone who probably isn't becoming a millionaire off the VR market might want to be compensated for their effort.

Why do I have to purchase the same title twice if it’s available on both the Rifr and quest? For example beat saber is available on either I purchased it on Rift and just got a Quest and I’m shocked I have to pay for that title again to have it on my quest. The whole reason I got a quest is so I don’t have to lug my PC when I travel and I thought I would have access to the same library of games that work on either. It’s not fair to have to pay for the same title twice.

That's true and it translates as buyer beware... I think buyer be aware is maybe just as appropriate here and this forum has a number of threads on this exact topic already.
