That's not how I understood it.

"The FR-S won’t be getting any power upgrades anytime soon, but it’s a different story for the Toyota 86, the Scion’s twin sold in other markets."

I know it said this:

"And it’s possible that the U.S.-spec FR-S may not receive any of the aforementioned power upgrades at all."

but I feel like they just said "FR-S" because "FR-S/BRZ" is too wordy and "the twins" would be confusing to some readers. Outside of a silly "STi" trim, I don't think there will be such a serious upgrade to the BRZ as a new engine, but not to the FR-S. I think everyone will have just as easy/difficult time deciding between the two as they always have.

If the US gets a new engine, then both cars will get it. My feelings.
