That's not entirely true. Minimum specs means it won't have to fit low power rigs if it can't or they don't want it to. Something I know all too well since my computer often fails to meet minimum specs of new games

Yup, a lot of  PC games are requiring a minimum of 8gb of ram, with the Switch only having 3gb usable for games as opposed to the 5gb available on xbo/ps4 that'd probably be one of the biggest challenges in porting the game to Switch, especially with it's lower memory-bandwidth.

PC operating systems and applications are nowhere near memory efficient. My current Windows 10 installation running chrome with five tabs, and some scripts in the background is using 4.1GB/8Gb of system ram. Ram really hasn't been that much of a bottleneck for games this generation, and can be easily accomodated for with lower resolution assets. I doubt MHW is the type of game that would use more than 3GB of Vram at 720p resolutions.
