Why are mininum app requirements so high on Windows 10 Mobile?

[Windows Central Question]

Warhammer Freeblade 2GB RAM

Facebook 2GB RAM???

Messenger 2GB RAM???

Is it normal or am I missing something?

It's set by the developers. Facebook set the requirements higher which results in people with higher spec phones being the only ones to review.

Some see it as a sloppy band-aid for the app's performance issues.
