They are necessitating 8GB of RAM. for what?! Like, it would be a struggle to find a machine with less than 8GB still being sold new, sure, but why does the OS need that RAM?

It's not that the OS needs that amount of RAM, it's that it's lifting the floor for what a modern PC will have, which is a good thing. I can't wait for the day windows requires an SSD.

I mean, Windows 10+ should only be used on an SSD for the OS install, even if it's not explicitly required.

So long as it doesn't outright block us from doing what we choose to on our PC's, there should be a recommended settings minimum that differs from the minimum.
