If there are PCs that can’t run a given game, even on lowest resolution, then some gamers on lower-spec PCs are being excluded; and the game could likely do better optimization.
The key is, usually features relate to graphical visuals. Half-Life 2’s expansive physics came out in 2004, and even then many future games dropped such elements or made them optional because they don’t add to the experience.
The difference here is that PC as a platform doesn’t get excluded just because it was built in a previous generation. And if it does get excluded for some technical reason (e.g. because the CPU is missing an instruction set), you can just upgrade the part that’s causing the incompatibility (even from a secondary market) instead of buying an entire new PC.
