There's no rule that says they have to. Sony could moneyhat the game to try to bolster their position in Japan. It's being made on Unreal Engine 5 so it's almost certainly not a Switch exclusive. Monster Hunter had a long history of success on the 3DS yet World still skipped Nintendo.

Dragon Quest doesn't belong solely to Square Enix. The creator Yuji Horii from Armor Project has afaik full control over the franchise and would not allow for it to get endangered like that. The only reason why DQ XI even came to the PS4 in the first place was because he wanted to make a home console DQ game since there hadn't been one since DQ XIII.

Dragon Quest Treasures is even Switch exclusive. There's a chance of approximately 0% that DQ XII gets moneyhatted by Sony. 

We'll see; I don't think we can rule it out, Sony have shown many times they are willing to moneyhat, and if they want to strengthen their position in Japan it's an obvious choice. Being a UE5 game it's basically guaranteed to be on PS5, so all they'd have to do is pay to keep off Switch.
