Is it that big of a deal though? I mean the Rift works fine with Steam VR so, nothing is preventing you from playing other then having to open both the oculus application and steamvr

All Steam VR games can be accesses directly from Home, you just need to do as @hanney says and allow unknown Sources, then play the game once via Steam... it'll then appear in your Oculus Home library.
Be aware though that Home doesn't always get the shortcut details right and often adds unwanted launch parameters. For example, for Project CARS 2, you have to make sure the relevant .json file in your Oculus\Manifests folder looks like:
{"canonicalName":"D_ProgramFiles(x86)_Steam_steamapps_common_pCars_pCARS64","displayName":"Project CARS","files":{"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\pCars\\pCARS64.exe":""},"firewallExceptionsRequired":false,"isCore":false,"launchFile":"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\Steam.exe","launchParameters":"steam://launch/234630/OtherVr","manifestVersion":0,"packageType":"APP","thirdParty":true,"version":"1","versionCode":1}
....otherwise it won't run. Similar edits are needed for many games that are added. My default Steam installation is on my D drive, so change that to suit your install.
You may also want to edit the images in your Oculus\Software\StoreAssets folder to make them look pretty in your Home library. There are some icons and images in this forum and on Reddit that people have done for many games if you search. There are also posts on editing the .json files for many games that don't get added correctly.
Edit. here's a few I did earlier:
all of the above are either Steam games or in the case of P3D and NoLimits 2, not Steam nor Oculus games, but they all run fine from Home.
