Why purchase twice for Rift and for Go?

Wonder why I have to purchase twice the same title available for Rift and for Go. I think Oculus must do something for this exatly as they do for free experiences.

Go and Rift are completely different platforms, one is Android and one is Windows, there are development costs to consider. It is also up to the developer to set pricing. For example, Dragon Front which is free to play (meaning the developer makes money not from a one time sale but from purchasing of items and cards) they can afford to release the title for free on both platforms.
Core i7-7700k @ 4.9 Ghz | 32 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance @ 3000Mhz | 2x 1TB Samsung Evo | 2x 4GB WD Black
ASUS MAXIMUS IX HERO | MSI AERO GTX 1080 OC @ 2000Mhz | Corsair Carbide Series 400C White (RGB FTW!) 

Be kind to one another 🙂

I don't know why, but if I were a developer and the understanding was I couldn't make any money on go sales because I already released a title for rift so anyone who wants my title on go gets it for free, what that would mean for me is that I would never make a port to any other system since there's no monetary reward for doing so.
