Capcom tries to make AAA games on an AA budget. They think the only market worth chasing is the Western market and have over the last two generations reformulated their games to appeal to Westerners, which means multiplatform releases. Capcom also never had issues porting their Monster Hunter games to new consoles. With a more western focus they decided to prioritize multiplatform, and with a split install base in Japan they are going to have to keep that up.
Atlus, on the other hand, seems to prefer to focus on a single targetted platform or ecosystem with their biggest titles. They embrace their status as an AA developer/publisher, and wear it on their sleave. They focus on the quality of their games rather than whether or not westerners will chase them. Now Sega's influence might change this philosphy, but it seems to me as if Sega is content with letting Atlus do their thing.
So a multiplatform SMTV seems as likely as Persona 5 coming to the Switch. If one happens, the other probably will also. My bet is that both will be ported eventually, but the Switch is Atlus's focus for now with SMTV
