But Horizon Worlds will continue to be available on mobile, so it's just the Quest ecosystem losing access in favor of a phone-first platform.

A phone-first VR platform?
In Snow Crash, the Metaverse was using VR. But it could also have worked via a smartphone. They are independent.
Phone-only
The writing has been on the wall for a long time. Very few people want to buy a separate cumbersome face hugger device.
I don't think that's entirely it, they don't want the product facebook is selling. VR Chat is massively more popular than Facebooks offerings.
Though Facebook had impossible goals, they didn't want to make a gaming device, they wanted to make the next smartphone, that everyday people and office workers would use. Which was just unrealistic.
