If the Switch was only selling well in Japan, I would say you have a point, but considering how it's sell very well everywhere, putting it on another console is not really necessary. It will certainly also release on PC, but getting a Playstation or even Xbox port is not guaranteed.

You mention the Horizon: Zero Dawn PC port, but you fail at the reason why: Yes, it was to increase IP awareness. But it's NOT the Horizon IP whose awareness Sony wanted to increase, rather it is to boost the awareness of the Playstation by basically telling PC players: "Yo, look what games you could get on a Playstation". So the situation is very different to what Squeenix has at hand with DQ XII.

If it get released on PC then I don't understand why it wouldn't be released on PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series XS

PS5/XS gamers would certainly expect a big graphical increase compared to the Switch version, PC gamers... not so much.

The main problem with the PS5/XS version would be the increased cost for their version and no certainty that the investment would get returns. Of course that version would also be used for PC then, but like I said, they wouldn't have to in contrast to the next gen consoles.
