They just use the SDK to create a Rift-compatible rendering in their conventional game that mainly supports conventional means of display, maybe it's hard tweak something without the real thing - it's only needed for testing, and therefore that's hardly relevant until the relese version even comes out. And even then, there's always means for big companies to get their unit faster, up to "the next day" faster.
Maybe some hobbyist developers will end up having Rift delay, but who cares - they don't drive the industry.
The whole topic is moot.
