I think that's the reason.
Below is taken from Wikipedia.

"Lesser Hampden is a smaller ground to the west of the main stadium which Queen's Park traditionally used for training and reserve team or youth matches. In 2018, a deal was made for the SFA to purchase Hampden from Queen's Park upon the expiry of the lease in 2020 for a fee of £5 million, with the club intending to improve Lesser Hampden and play their matches there.[72] In November 2019 the club announced plans to redevelop Lesser Hampden into a 1,774 capacity ground.[7] As of August 2020, ownership of the main stadium had been transferred to the SFA and a new facility was under construction at Lesser Hampden.[77] Queen's Park played their last match at Hampden on 20 March 2021, as their lease on the ground expired at the end of the month.[78] They groundshared at the Falkirk Stadium for the rest of the 2020–21 season,[78][79] Firhill during 2021–22,[80] and Ochilview in 2022–23. The club released a revised plan in December 2021"

No idea what they will do if they get promotion.

1774 capacity? I’m sure Bonnyrigg is about 2500. Seems a bit low for premiership games right enough.

I think so. It's currently under development to bring the capacity up to 2.5k. Problems with the availability of materials (a global problem) has delayed the work.
