There is something to this. If it won't be ready until late 2023 on the Switch, it maybe makes more sense to just push it off another half year or year until the Switch 2 launches and make it a much more graphically advanced game. This is something they would probably have already needed to decide in order to build the graphical assets for next gen hardware, which could be why they are still hiring people for the team??
On the downside MP4 would get far lower sales on a brand new Switch 2 than it would get on a system with like 140m sales. Though as a Switch 2 launch title if there is only like one other major launch game on Switch it could make up for that a little bit by picking up a high ratio of sales to user base that first year, just as 2017 games on Switch that sold well would just be afterthoughts these days as there is so much more to play. Cross-gen could work though. But I still think it'll be a late 2023 game and so only be on the Switch.
