rubocop doesn't like it.
Gemspec/RequiredRubyVersion: required_ruby_version should be specified.

Solved using this snippet in .rubocop.yml.
Gemspec/RequiredRubyVersion:
Enabled: false
It might prevent Dependabot from working properly. Because rubocop >= 1.51.0 depends on Ruby >= 2.7.0 and Gemfile depends on rubocop = 1.84.1, Ruby >= 2.7.0 is required. So, because current Ruby version is = 2.5.9, version solving has failed. -- https://github.com/crate/crate_ruby/network/updates/1239572576 The README also says "You will need Ruby 2.0 or greater."

Thoughts
The version constraint might prevent Dependabot from working properly. A library should support many upstream and downstream software versions anyway, so removing the constraint makes sense also from that perspective.
The README also says "You will need Ruby 2.0 or greater."
