Why is MSFS so demanding?

It needs a lot of everything: CPU, GPU, memory, disk space and access speed. Load times are painful even on a high end machine. Even though you're never going to see frame rates like you'd expect in some first person shooter, it doesn't matter that much, flying is inherently slower.

Does MSFS benefit from more RAM?

Need no, but it is beneficial. I've not yet seen my MSFS use more than 14GB…, However, depending on what else you have running the system can easily go beyond 16GB. I think the maximum I've seen my system use is 24 (in total). I don't think RAM will impact your FPS at all in this situation.

Does throttle increase speed?

When the throttle is opened a small amount, only a small amount of air can enter the engine. This lowers the amount of power the engine can produce and minimizes the speed at which the engine can operate. When the throttle is opened further, more air enters the engine, increasing power output and engine speed.
