This is a little unusual. Most games never explicitly say you need an SSD or a HDD - but Starfield does! This likely isn't a hard limit, as recommendations are often just that, but I cannot help but wonder what would happen if the game is run on an HDD?

Makes sense. It's time to move on from spinning disks people. SSD's have been affordable for a very long time now.

Not having an SSD is a major bottleneck in performance for any system built in the last 7-10 years already. It's really not an unreasonable requirement.

Indeed. Even the most basic systems come with an SSD these days.
