Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB (www.tomshardware.com)

You do cache what you use as you use it

The issue is with this being a forever game. If there are no servers there is no streaming. Hence the need to somehow host a one off entire world download indefinitely.

MSF2020 runs offline too, it's even sold on discs in certain regions. You just don't get any of the satellite imagery or live weather. Obviously that means a degraded experience, but it still works.
