According to Yoshida, the PS4 version was ultimately cancelled as it would have taken a further 1-2 years worth of development to ensure its quality was high enough.

Not super surprising. The game doesn't look like its general design would need PS5 power and honestly a few places here and there in the previews looked downright bad graphically.
Good thing last gen was ultimately dropped and we get at least some limited next gen eye candy.

This was known, I believe it was canned for PS4 in late 2020 or early 2021 from memory.

Did they previously talk about a canned PS4 version though?

Yes, in June 2022 they mentioned a PS4 version was scrapped.

I'm glad the PS4 version of Final Fantasy 16 was scrapped

I can vaguely remember an interview last year where he said that the real time cutscenes that run on PS5 would have been pre-rendered on PS4. I also think he said it was scrapped earlier on in development, around the time it was revealed in 2020.

Thanks, that is first time I'm hearing about this.
