Windows 9x was significantly lower in resource requirements than NT (mostly from memory, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_95#System_requirements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_95#System_requirements / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_4.0#System_requirements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_4.0#System_requirem... seems to agree). I'd 100% believe that MS was going for market segmentation, but I don't think it was just leaving out DOS compat.
