Why is that strange? That's how modern ADSL and other similar fixed-fee
internet connections work. It doesn't matter if you download and upload at
full rate 24/7, or you don't use the connection at all, you still have to
pay the monthly fee.
(Ok, some ISPs may limit your monthly bandwidth, but others don't.)

Actually Windows 3.1 could run in much less, and Win95 could run with
4 MB (I have direct experience of this).

Most unix machines did that in the 70's.
