Looking at the PS4 version, I don't think it's meant to be visually impressive. At least not when you put it up against other PS4 games.

How does it make any sense to say that it is nonsense to make a game in a way that it can be easily ported to another system?

Because making a game with a primary goal of porting it to significantly inferior hardware is a ridiculous development strategy. It just means the final product will be an inferior experience on two consoles. I don't exactly define that as everybody winning or smart development aimed at consumer satisfaction. They also risk undermining PS4 version sales by porting that version to the Switch, particularly if Japan does actually jump all over the dockable tablet. They still have to justify the creation of the PS4 version, and if both versions are available on two different Nintendo handhelds, the PS4 version will be dead in the water. That's a great way to guarantee the PS4 version will release internationally, I guess.

So yeah, I'm not jumping all over this strange idea that developers are putting all their eggs into the yet unknown basket of the Switch and sacrificing performance of future releases exclusively for an unreleased console.

So Switch is going to hold back the PS4 version of DQXI?

Did Persona 5 being on PS3 hold back the PS4 version?
