Agreed.
While on the hardware side, I also wonder about cpu usage and core count importance to the game.
What will be the sweet spot of core count and the correlation to GPU performance.
EA! DICE!!

It will run on 4 cores as only about 45% of PC players have better than that. (Steam Hardware Survey May 2021)
I can't see them just giving up on 55% of the market. They'll cater to 85% of the market that way and truthfully the other 15% who don't even have a reasonably modern i5 or equivalent probably weren't the target market anyway.
It will probably scale well up to 8 cores/16 threads as that's what the consoles use and that is the upper bound for mainstream desktop CPUs at the moment.
I'm sure the developers would love to ditch support for those slower machines but I'm even more sure the shareholders would have something to say about that.
