Using the Open World Demo Collection makes UE4 freeze and crash

I just need to open any of the tree meshes and it freezes forever.
Now this is a known issue and you need have to some very high end PC to use it as mentioned here:

My question is then why the hell would you include it in the new procedural foliage tool quick start tutorial here:

Maybe a lower res version of that asset pack would be in order so you don’t need a very expensive rig to do a basic tutorial or just include a different asset pack, there is no reason you need 8192x 8192 textures anywhere. Except maybe closeups in a CG movie.
