Multiplatform doesn't mean 'all platforms', it means multiple platforms, i.e. more than one. I'm sure Square Enix will be interested in bringing the game to Switch 2 as well, but mainline Final Fantasy games have been trying to utilize powerful hardware as well as they 'reasonably' can, and I don't think they're going to stop doing that now. That is if they can get the game easily enough on Switch 2, I don't see why they wouldn't do it, but realistically, they're probably going to aim for something that's hard to get to run on Switch 2, so it'll be an afterthought. The game is almost certainly going to release day 1 on next-gen consoles, and getting it to run even on Xbox Series S is probably going to be a struggle. It sounds like it often is even now, when there's no next gen to worry about, and it's not going to get any easier.
It might not even release on current-gen consoles: XVI was released in 2023, so XVII releasing in 2027 would probably be an optimistic estimation due to how long games take to develop these days. It's probably going to come out in 2028-2030 instead, and Square Enix might not feel like it makes sense to release the game on the console we have now.
