I don't think this part is actually true. The games market is bigger than ever, and you can easily go and find brutally difficult games if you want to.

It's definitely true regarding large studio projects. Look back at the old days of MMO development for another example. XP and Gear loss on death used to be the norm. Ever since WoW came out and got mainstream popular, those functions have all but disappeared. For the better, if you ask me, but hardcore people liked there to be 'consequences' for playing poorly.

Even within WoW, which was already casual compared to MMOs of its day, the difference between the initial release (classic) and the current game is insane. It skews way more casual in the modern game. Faster leveling, easier leveling, easier gearing, barely any travel time, etc.
