It's just that in this, Galar is not properly shown or explored to promote SwSh for this new series, and is instead focusing mostly on Pokemon Go because that's where the real money-making is for Pokemon now. I wouldn't be surprise that in summer we will get Gen 6 Pokemon and in christmas time Gen 7 Pokemon for Pokemon Go. Thus leaving Gen 8 for next year, or for when Gen 9 comes out.
Considering the sales for Sword/Shield, I don't think that Pokemon Go is the real money maker. It is easily their most successful app game thus far, but the main series isn't doing poorly sales wise by any means. Plus, they could still potentially give more focus to Galar down the road, especially when there are DLC passes coming later this year. They don't want to ignore Galar completely. Otherwise, why would they include Scorbunny and Yamper with its new characters and have an episode where Leon battles against Lance. Not to mention I still don't see why Galar not getting the main focus in the anime has anything to do with X/Y not getting a third version. That's what I'm still confused about.
