This is pretty normal behavior in response to any game published by an AAA studio.
Intel is trying to break into the home GPU market, and you're surprised that they're trying to make sure a game that has a lot of interest is able to be run on their GPU?
People who buy or recommend GPUs expect to be able to use them to run any software that relies upon a GPU. It's already a bad look for Intel that this is a problem. The article says you can't even launch the game at the moment.
Imagine if Word or Excel or Chrome failed to launch because of the GPU you had installed?
Why? They do that pretty much with every major release, especially for demanding titles. People tend to build PCs specifically for a specific game, so the major GPU vendors want to fill that high end need.
Gaming is easily the largest market for consumer gpu sales. So if you want sales on your gpu, you better build a reputation that your shit runs modern games. Because even if you don't like starfield, the more you see that games aren't compatible with an intel card, the less you'll trust that games you do want to play are compatible.

You're surprised that companies released updated graphics drivers to coincide with a tent pole release?
No offence but are you new to PC gaming?
