I've heard that argument before, but I don't buy it. Whole PC gaming is a counter argument. Let developers make games that scale according to hardware, instead of excusing things with weak specs.
You don't need to buy it, that doesn't matter. Sales numbers are more meaningful than anything. Consumers and developers have voted with their feet.
No, I’ll let developers optimize their shit instead of hogging my system.

I'd love that, but I would argue that the evidence shows they don't do it.
