Why wouldn't developers assume there would be new consoles in the future?
As a developer, I'd be thinking "there's going to be new consoles in the future, maybe I should initialize the slot count as a variable and assign dynamically based on installed ram rather than a constant".

Imagine if they limited PC code to 8gigs and your new PC had 16.

Because there’s no guarantee of when a new console will come out. And if one doesn’t the coding time would be wasted.
And probably most importantly, the (base of the) game engine is identical to the one on PC, so the making the slots fixed is essentially just a secondary coding of the money system, you have x slots to spend and can’t do anything beyond that. Requires no system resource surveying, and is much more stable.
