Turning off an effect, volumetric lighting for example, does not require a lot of work, Let's not forget both these titles are on PC with graphics options to turn off most of it already. Instead they decided to just downsample the textures and lower the render resolution. I would say neither requires much more work than the other. Though I'd much rather they had better resolution and textures.

When i talk about a lot of work, i'm talking about how much turning off those settings will it effect performance, as opposed to lower resolution which is the most demanding thing usually by a huge margin.

Resolution isn't demanding, it's what has to be rendered at that resolution, anything can run Pacman at 1080p. Lighting, Shadows, Reflections and other shaders are usually the biggest hits on performance.
