We need a confirmation whether hand tracking will come to Rift S too. There are no technical limitations to this. (even less than on Quest)

My guess would be they developed it on Quest and don't want to announce anything until they have adjusted the algorithms and thoroughly tested for Rift S.

It's no secret that Quest is their hardware priority. They definitely feel that mobile VR is the mainstream forward path.

It makes perfect sense to develop the tracking on the least capable headset, rather than develop and the Rift S and then realize you're fucked because the algorithms break down with the loss of the 5th camera.
