Aren't those options just to make sure it works best for your video card and doesn't slowdown or anything? Ya know, a problem that you shouldn't really have on consoles in the first place...

Settings are also so that you can choose what best suits you. I prefer better image-quality in my games, for example, so if I want to use GPU power to have 4 x SSAA at Medium settings rather than High/Ultra settings with no AA I will often choose it (depending on the display I am playing on.) However, some people might not be bothered by aliasing or might not notice it. So they'll not want higher image quality. The same can be said for frame-rate. For consoles, since they are closed platforms, you can have like five-six presets addressing people's preferences.
