So we should cater an entire genre of games to gamers who don't have gaming PCs, therefore holding back the genre from achieving its potential? That's a hot take. I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect a new game to have requirements aligned with other new games.

Food for thought: if your audience can't play your game and everyone else doesn't care about it, how do you make money?

The same audience played Sim City back in the day, yet Cities Skylines is still a major success. Make a good game and the audience will extend beyond those who traditionally played The Sims into the mainstream gamer space. Those who really want to play will find the means.
