People here will probably disagree with me but hear me out.

Easy mode is not Accessibility. It is a shitty way to carter for accessibility, the only thing the devs do is change some numbers in the code and voiala the game now has accessibility?

The best example that I can think of good accessibility is with Nier Replicant and Nier Automata. In Replicant you have options to play with only one hand and customize the controls to your liking and in Automata on easy mode you can equip chips with different abilities like auto aim, auto dodge, auto attack, auto shoot and they take up space so you can't equip every chip + DMG UP/Heal/HP Up etc. So people can customize their experience and make the game do things that they can't or don't want to do while playing and focus only on what they find rewarding.

Another point: I don't think that every game is for everyone and the artist shouldn't bend his vision to accommodate to the audience. If Myazaki doesn't think there should be an easy mode in her games fine, but what her games should have is a proper accessibility mode. To compare with cinema: movies shouldn't be dumbed down to a wider audience understand it, but all movies need subtitles and descriptive audio.
