I'd compare the Quest 2 to Nintendo's Wii and Switch. It's probably a good platform for the few exclusive titles that have been designed from the ground up to work on the gimmicky controllers and below-than-average hardware specs.

The old Quest can play Steam games. The new Quest addresses Quest 1's performance issues. When Quest 2 is linked to PC, I doubt most people would notice any large differences from Quest 2 vs say WMR or older gen Vives and Rift.

You can use the Quest to play PC games, too.

that's why Oculus is killing off Rift S. Because Quest can do the exact same thing, but also function as a completely standalone device, all for $299/$399. It is indeed a killer value proposition.

There's multi-frame latency and compression artifacts involved in this. It's really disingenuous to say that a Quest 2 is unambiguously better than an actual PC VR headset

Oculus Link uses USB-C

What does that have to do with anything?

I do disagree there - the additional latency and compression artifacts are noticeable from some of the reviews of the Quest 1. I think the experience is still going to be better for graphically intensive games with a tethered headset.
