Oatly “brags” about not adding anything “extra” to their products (meaning they don’t even fortify with synthetic vitamins).
Gluten has a protein digestibility score of 0.25 - compared to 1 for animal protein. [0]
The bioavailability of synthetic vitamins used for fortification varies (e.g for b12, the methyl-, hydroxo- and cyano- variants are not equally effective at treating deficiency) and is different from natural sources (where cofactors and the vegetal matrix play a role in absorption).
