Speed runs are either incredibly experienced people who have put more hours into a 60 minute game than most people do a game like Xenoblade Chronicles (and finish it) or they are people cheating using emulators.
I don't get the "difficulty" argument. It's clear that most people don't want impossible games, otherwise they wouldn't have become easier for the most part. I'm sorry, they HAVE become easier, because I'm able to get to the end of more games now than I have ever been able to, but you know what, I don't actually see that as a bad thing because I play games for this strange thing called enjoyment. 6th gen was still the best though. Jet Set Radio, Katamari Damacy, Outrun 2, Burnout, Code Veronica, etc. etc. etc. Really was the golden generation.
