Not that strange when the quote should be differently interpreted than it is in the article.

“Growth in the number of platforms is basically a good thing, and we intend to further advance our multiplatform approach,”

That's the sole sentence the article is built around, but what it most likely really means is that Square-Enix recognizes Switch as a viable console (hence "growth in the number of platforms") and therefore games that were planned to be multiplatform will aim to have a Switch release as well.

And advance multiplatform approach certainly makes sense of making a division devoted to Switch right? Even more because games made for Switch can't be ported to others.
