I would say the vast majority of games should have difficulty settings unless they're really easy to virtually impossible to lose or difficulty settings would hinder the experience (FromSoftware games and some Soulslikes).
RPGs are usually so story, setting, and character heavy that I would find it inexcusable for almost any of them not to have an easy mode. Some people don't want to grind or die constantly.
Sony's cinematic games are well-justified having easy modes as well because some people want to relax and enjoy the story. The Last of Us isn't hard on normal difficulty, but if you couldn't make it any easier that would shut out a lot of players.
I don't play difficult games really at all, they're not for me. Bloodborne and Dark Souls III are as difficult as I go, and I played those in co-op.
