I dont understand the quote thing for purchasing car, insurance, house, etc.
Why do we have to look for a quote for something?
Is it optional to get one?

Because the quotor wants to really feel you out to see if the price sounds good. If it sounds good you buy. If not you go get another quote.

Quotes are "estimates" for the proposed work order. They are not necessarily the exact price, sometimes the actual price will vary- usually higher than the quoted price!

A quote gives you two things, an estimate for what you could have to pay, and what you'll be expected to pay.
Suppose you want to get your carpets cleaned, you use a quote to compare between companies. This quote then becomes your price accordingly. (This applies to what you've listed above)
