It is very common to have that convenience feature and it's ridiculous that some games don't have it; this is not a matter of challenge. Whether or not you're able to stay glued to your system for a whole run has nothing to do with how good you are at a game. It's a matter of showing the players respect over the fact that they have lives outside of the game.

See also: Pausing in Dark Souls. The number of people that treat the lack of a pause feature as a badge of honour or an indication that the game is truly challenging is utterly ridiculous. I've literally seen people try to claim that players deserve to lose their progress on a boss if they answer the phone or the doorbell because they aren't "dedicated enough."
