I've never heard anything about Paizo telling Owlcat that they had to make 2E games from here on out, only that Owlcat staff openly mentioned during streams that they don't like 2E. I don't see any reason why Paizo would shoot themselves in the foot and risk burning bridges with Owlcat by making such a demand, considering the Pathfinder games are literally the only high profile games using the license so far, aside from possible mobile stuff none of us have heard of (and Obsidian was involved in some sort of minor online game I think, from the last time I checked their forums).
If I were in charge of Paizo, I'd snatch up Tactical Adventures for a 2E game immediately, considering that it seems WotC is keen on ignoring them.
