This is one of the biggest negatives I've heard for PSVR, so it's good that Sony is adressing it, wether it'll be for current gen PSVR or next gen PSVR.

I don't really understand why this couldn't be supported on current PSVR though? Anyone with tech knowledge that can explain?

The article states that the controllers don't feature light sources anymore as tracking input, which makes sense, since it's a method prone to error on the Moves. Instead they seem to be tracked by a new, undefined headset...similar to the Windows MR headsets now available. It's pretty much a given that, like those Mixed Reality headsets, a new PSVR (mkII) headset will also feature inside out tracking ( tracking made possible by special 3D cameras on the front of the headset ) which will also track the controllers, so no additional camera will be needed for tracking purposes. PLUS the controllers will also include finger tracking!

This also implies that both headset and controllers will use a completely new system which makes it unlikely those features will be added to PSVR 1. Like you already said...the only reason I can see, why Sony doesn't want to update their Moves with sticks, is not to alienate early buyers and yeah...maybe, possibly PSVR2 already around the corner, just like PS5.
