Remember, ILCA has been a support studio above all else and Pokémon Works can just be their dedicated support studio, not necessarily working on a full game themselves.
ILCA have helped on a variety of things including HOME, Sleep and SV...despite BDSP
And heck, remember this is a TPC thing, not a Game Freak thing, so there's absolutely nothing to say "Oh it'll be main series". TPC doesn't control how the main series goes, they march to the beat of Game Freak's drum
My view is they were worried about backlash for Legends are the whole Dexit stuff so commissioned BDSP to placate things.
Game Freak don't just want to do stuff that's expected, they want to surprise us. They have shown us this time and time again

Khu was also insisting the next game was Unova, so I agree his sources have dried up somewhatPretty sure that Khu was the one that started the “rumour” of Game Freak/TPC breaking connections with ILCA, so I don’t even think they have solid sources anymore. Wonder how they’ll try and spin this.
If anything, they were probably impressed that ILCA got something working out with such a short turnaround. Hopefully the next project, whatever it is, has a much more stable development.
I disagree with this.I think Game Freak was originally going to do BDSP, then out of BDSP eventually came Arceus, and TPC had the good sense to understand that it was necessary to rely on outsourcing for the overall improvement of the franchise. This resulted in an insane schedule for BDSP, because it was an unforeseen event at the outset. But the next remake will be much less "improvised" in my opinion.
