Should you avoid buying from the Oculus store?

It's a bit late occurring to me, but is it short sighted to buy directly from the Oculus store because it locks you in to that manufacturers products, and we don't know if future tech generations might make someone really want to switch?

Using steam instead for example still lets you play the game on the Rift.

Interesting thoughts, thanks guys. I guess it's probably a case of deciding from game to game. If it's cheap enough, or you expect your playing of it to be short term, then there's no harm.
But something like Beat Saber, which will have great replay value because of adding songs, would be better bought elsewhere. (Of course I've already bought that on Oculus!)

Not a big deal for just a few games, but I can see you'd be kicking yourself if you built up a big library and then wanted to change to another manufacturer.

Presumably, as it's the VR equivalent of a console, Beat Saber custom songs are very unlikely to be available on the Quest?
