can someone explain my why do we have wrong information here in regarding "recommended" GPU? Since GTX 1060 6GB can run this game at about 35 fps on high details, here it says it should get 60…also even RTX 2060 isnt enough.

That doesn't have anything to do with running game with "recommended" PC, and the fact they claimed that you can get 60 fps with GTX1060 on high details. I wonder how they didn't put 9800GT as recommended, in 480p could maybe reach 60fps xd
