Maybe because most programs you'd use (browser, word processor, spreadsgeets, etc) requires 8+ gb, and the non-windows side of MS wanted the requirements so edge, word, excel, etc are guaranteed to actually work on every computer that ships with those programs?

No seriously, evolution fucked up it's cable management. iirc, there's a nerve (essentially the biological equivalent of a data cable) that has an extreme detour, going from the upper neck, looping under the aorta (more or less the largest blood vessel), and then back up all the way to the throat.
