Non only they don't need it, but it wouldn't be good at all for them: current RAM price crisis would make an early launch quite expensive, not to mention that if they want to include a hybrid version in their next gen range, they won't just need a standard APU outperforming current gen base model ones, that would be easy even now, but also a mobile APU that offers enough CPU power even when undocked, as while undocking and playing in portable mode GPU power can be greatly lowered, the game engine must run in the same way, only some optional OS services can be stopped, so CPU cores must run almost at full speed even undocked. This would be very difficult and very expensive to achieve with mobile APUs available in 2019.

what the hell are you talking about "hybrid version"?

that came out of literally nowhere 

IF they want. It's definitely possible that if they haven't already arrived too far in the development process, they could be willing to offer a hybrid version too for their next console. It would make sense, as it woul be the only possible way to get some portable market share too, but it would require mobile APUs to be powerful enough by then. No rumours at all about this, just plain abstract reasoning.
