Uh, I mean, this is generally unavoidable with the passage of time and the advance of technology so, as vague as a statement as yours is, yes I do think so.
Unavoidable, sure, as an unwanted side-effect of increasing overall quality, but since it's possible to create unoptimized games that increase hardware requirements without delivering any improvements at all, if we cherish the hardware demand increases, we will create a fertile scenario for unoptimization, market manipulation and exclusion of people in the game industry.
I will just have to respectfully disagree with you that one has anything to do with the other. I find I can be in favour of advances in technology while not being in favour of unoptimized games.
