They have done it before, like when they dropped DX9, versions of Windows prior to 7, and 32 bit MacOS. Over time, they have notched up the CPU and GPU requirements, as well.
Ultimately, what holds them back, to a degree, is old console hardware. It is probably harder for them to turn off PS4 and XBox One, which they will probably have to support until the last of them finally stop working. Or, until XBox and Playstation decide that they want those old console users to stop dragging their feet and upgrade.
This right here. We won't see a drastic graphical change until the last-gen console versions are no longer supported.1
