It gives the opportunity for people to play at their own level, whether that be the simplest or the most difficult. It creates an accessibility for literally everyone. If you want to beat the game in 75 hours, killing yourself over puzzles, go for it, and if you want to beat it in 7 hours just for the story, go for it. It serves everyone.
