I think they said it because there are a lot of idiots out there going "This means if the Pokemon isn't in Sword/Shield it'll never be in a game again!!1one"

Who says this? we all know that they are going to rotate the pool between the games
The thing is, in the long run, or hell, even in the short run, there are going to be Pokemon that won't make it into at least TWO games
Let's assume for a moment Sword and Shield will have a Regional Dex of 400. And then the next games are DP remakes, which will also have a Regional Dex of 400
Totalling 800, we will be around 100 Pokemon short
And this is not counting overlap, like every Gen 4 Pokemon in SwSh will also be in DP remakes
So even if you go for 500 Pokemon for SwSh and 500 for DP remakes, because of overlap, it might make it possible for some Pokemon to not be in both games
And going forward it will only be worse, unless they decide to make the regional dex even bigger

What's really ridiculous is the reason for leaving out Pokemon they cited was the time to model/texture/animate/etc nearly 1000 Pokemon. Not that the games couldn't fit them all, just that they couldn't create graphics for all of them. But if that's the case, everything that's in Sword & Shield should be in the DP remakes or Ultra Sword & Shield or whatever the second set of Gen 8 games is, because they all have Gen 8 models and animations created. And all the new Pokemon they put into those games that didn't make Sword & Shield should be patched into those games because now they have graphics made too. But from what it sounds like, and knowing Game Freak, none of this will happen and we'll just have to deal with Gotta Catch 400 Of Em from now on.
