@TonicBH I had a conversation a few months back w/ someone who was lamenting the addition of Funky Kong to the Switch port of Tropical Freeze for this reason. By his estimation, Nintendo was dumbing down & ruining the game with its addition.
I made the point that optional accessibility options didn't hurt anyone, don't disrupt anything, and were vitally useful to people who may simply be physically incapable of playing them any other way.
His response was that not all games are for everyone :|
