We will have to wait and see what the first wave of next gen games looks like and saying we will see developers supporting all of its features in 2024 or later is just speculation.

I wrote 2022 or later, not 2024 or later.

And yes, a 2080RTX will be more affordable after a while but that doesn't change the point that the OP is trying to make. Any multiplatform game you've played since 2014 has a minimum requirements of a 660GTX and next year that will change to a 2080RTX or whatever pc gpu equivalent is in these next gen consoles. These are simply facts

These are simply wrong facts.

I played lots of multiplatform games since 2014 with higher or lower minimum requirements than a GTX 660.

Next year there won't be a "one size fits all" minimum requirement for all multiplatform releases either.

People here make it sound like the minimum pc requirements are some kind of vague concept that's open to interpretation, but it's literally what's written on the back of a box when you buy a pc game. When Ryse came out as a launch game for the Xbox One, the minimum requirements for the pc version was a GTX 660 and it's been pretty much the same for 95% of the multiplatform games that came out ever since. Obviously, a 660 GTX is crap by today's standards but in 2014 it was a pretty decent mid range card that was only out for a year and loads of people who had a GTX 5** gpu or older had to upgrade. 

The same thing will happen next year, only the minimum requirements will be a RTX 2080 (if the rumors are true). It seems that MS and Sony are stepping up their game and are going with a higher tier gpu/ cpu this time around and probably a higher launch price compared to current gen.
