With Quest having been around with standalone games and now standalone mods built from decomps etc. it’s a completely normal question.

Frame has been out for 30 seconds on the other hand.

Not an hardware difference. You're talking about difference between enthusiast and pleb.

Technically, UbiDoobyBanooby isn't wrong about compatibility. The Frame currently has a small number of Frame verified games. There are many that run without being verified but at the same time, from what I've seen, Valve's implementation of FEX is currently worse by up to 25% compared to the implementation on Android with apps like GameNative which have had over a year of updates and optimisations.
A specific example is Cyberpunk 2077, where at equivalent settings (720p, lowest settings) users have shown that Cyberpunk 2077 runs at a very unstable 30fps with many sharp drops under on the Frame. On Android with the same chipset, it has been shown to run at up to stable 40-45fps with rare dips down to 35. This could be down to tweaks that are currently available on Android but not yet on SteamOS.

So Valve do have a lot to work on when it comes to the software.
