I think it depends on the games, like Skyrim I will never turn it off the easiest setting since the difficulty doesn't really make the game harder it just turns enemies into damage sponges which isn't enjoyable for me.

One of the earlier Stalker games on PC did this, but in reverse. They made it where if you pick easy, good news is that it takes a shit load of bullets to kill your character, bad news is that it takes a shit load of bullets to kill each enemy (they become annoying bullet sponges). This results in ammo being wasted and having to go search for more ammo, making the game far more annoying. It's actually somewhat easier and more fun to turn up the difficulty in that game. While it's easier for your character to die, it's much easier and quicker to kill enemies as they die much faster and you waste much less ammo.
