Regarding the minimum system requirements

[Stepan6171]

Greetings to all Linux Lite users, this might be a slightly unusual question. Why have the minimum system requirements for Linux Lite itself increased over the past two years? Besides, Xfce is lighter, and I'm not talking about the software, that's all clear, but the OS itself. I think two years ago it was 981 MB, but now it's 4 GB, and Ubuntu has lower requirements. The question is, what's the reason for such a sharp increase in Linux Lite system requirements?
