No one wants to play potato games. And this is evident by the shortage of high end GPUs. People want better graphics and people have the money for GPUs. If you check Steam stats, then the top 15 cards are all 3060, 4060, 3070, 4070, and 3080. Steam has 132m active monthly users and 2% of their users have 3080 cards. That's over 2.6m people with a high end card.

There are only 0.2% of Intel HD 4000 users. When you combine all the mid and high end GPU users it becomes obvious that there's absolutely no point making games for Intel HD 4000.
