Easy modes don't ruin games if the difficulty is not a piece of the artistic expression the developers are trying to create. Dark Souls has crafted its world and design around this difficulty, and for you to tell them they have to accommodate their art to your crybaby preferences is egotistical, and it's no wonder they don't want to cater to such a lame demographic. You give a little, and they are definitely going to start crying about more things.
Halo doesn't care, and doesn't see difficulty as a core piece of its artistic representation, and thus gives the player the choice to play through the game how they see fit.
It's no wonder easy-mode elitists are always the ones crying, though. They probably think walking to the toilet to take a piss is too hard-mode for them too and need to use their juice boxes to pee in, instead.
This is why we need a super hardcore "One try only" game.
