Windows 10 was 2GB minimum requirements, and 800x600 screen resolution minimum. There are many "cheap" laptops and PCs sold with 4GB RAM in my country. This change is going to be very painful here, especially the DX12 and 720p requirements. Most universities still run 1024x768 screens and nothing modern enough to have DX12 on it, outside of the "specialist" PC'S in engineering faculty.
Microsoft is going to have another windows xp situation because windows 10 home/pro will be supported till 10/14/2025. Microsoft even sold surface devices with 2gb of rams. I hope some government forces Microsoft to extend support because we at least deserve 10 year support like the past windows versions got.

Yeah my old laptop already chugs hard on Windows 10, and it has 4GB ram. No way I'm going to put windows 11 on it, it will just make it even slower.
