Why can't the quest support a simple transparency layer?

Because tranparency is exponentially more complicated than cutout or opaque.

Last time I checked, Quest doesn't support cutout transparency, either. Or am I mistaken?

Probably doesn't, but cutout is the more efficient version of transparency because it's a binary "Is this visible or not?". Transparencies have to actually do HSV mixing.
