> should run at the exact specs of your average consumer. Kinda expensive, having a set of multiple dedicated servers (or VMs) running on God knows how many dozen cores and hundreds of gb of ram just to run the tests that my laptop runs fine by itself, all in the name of running the "exact specs" that my stuff is going to be run on. You're describing system testing, which takes place extremely late in the product cycle.
