Magnus Carlson doesn't just have a better memory than other players. There are a lot of other factors.

I agree with you that 960 is an upgrade, but all it does is remove the need to memorize openings. Chess isn't currently just memorization, that's a misunderstanding of the difference between 960 and the current norm.

Our current chess depends heavily on pattern recognition, temperament, making good decisions, calculation, etc.

If that was true people would be able to beat stockfish.
They can't and it isn't even close, even for Magnus.

Are you saying that Magnus has no problem beating 3000 elo stockfish in 960?
