Sounds great for folks who want to experience the game but can't handle the difficulty for any reason.

I really don't think this is a bad thing.

I think it leads to a spiraling effect for those players who use them. Finds game too hard, uses mods to change the difficulty, gaming skills atrophy, finds future games too hard, dowloads mods.

Recently watched somebody play Link to the Past and for the first part of the game they kept getting their ass handed to them so were relying on save states and the rewind feature to brute force their way through the dungeons. Once they stopped doing it so much, they got better overall and actually started learning some of the games mechanics.

I've found the same thing happens to me if I abuse the soul dupe glitch in Dark Souls. I stop playing smart and start getting sloppy because my health and damage are way above the average for the starting areas of the game.
