Sure, because most users leave those out too, as the primary use case 
that this is about are hand-me-downs.

Contingent on just what level of task which one is asking to do:  old 
hadware can render 640 by 480 video without being too slow in the UI, 
but to do 4K editing within the same day is beyond the hardware's 
capability, regardless of OS.  Sure, one may get to "but it will run!" 
but the workflow is a {fix a frame & let it run overnight} crawl.

A Single core CPU would be more like "decades ago", as I can recall 
having a dual core CPU back in 2006.

And its not merely that some software could be made to run:  the 
question was how long to render the project, and for the likes of 
Solidworks, doing how many discrete points in the mesh.

As I'd mentioned a week or two back, I had a FEA team working on a hot 
project where the workstations would crash every ~4 days of runtime.
