Why do people get upset by OPTIONAL difficult assists?

And why I didn't mention the sort of thing you're talking about either, because what you're talking about isn't optional assists, but optional handicaps, the total opposite.

But that was just an example. I made actual points for why the Souls games are a bad example. Other than just "muh objective advantage". 

I have yet to see a convincing reason why an optional assist is a bad thing though. Those who don't like them are entirely free to carry on as if they don't exist. They only people they really affect as those they affect positively by allowing them to play games they otherwise would be locked out of.

Now if it was non-optional, then there would be a problem, as it would compromise the experience for those who don't need/want them.
