Unfair do you really believes the vocal minority online that makes fun of people who complain nonstop control miyazaki and miyazaki himself isn't against an easy mode for his own reasons?

Miyazaki didn't put an easy mode into Demon's Souls because he knew the sheer idea that his game could compete against Oblivion (which is what he was told to do) was a complete farce.

So instead of appealing to a mass audience, appeal to a toxic niche who feel superior to the mass audience and purposeful harsh game design, half health on dying, tough enemies, only a minor story to keep out "Casual Scrubs" as a core part of the game.

You keep saying "WEll Miyazai wanted it!" without acknowledging that the toxicity from the fanbase was the reason he wanted it.

Hell he didn't even make Dark Souls 2 and you still bring him up.

It was never used as good game design. It was always needless objectively bad game design to have not have player options. He just suspected (probably correctly) that they needed the toxic fanbase to hold a candle to the other RPGs that were mechanically much better games.

And there's nothing wrong with me pointing this out. IT's not the crutch you think it is. Pathologic proved that. As do the numerous mods and trainers that don't effect your intended experience.

Your intended experience is still there with player option. the only thing removing player option does is hurt people, not one single positive.

If he believed difficulty modes would have made Demons Souls sell as well was Oblivion did, he would have put them in before you could spell your name. It was always always always a marketing strategy
