Not going to happen when the players who don't meet your personal standards are still willing to pay for the game.

That's one thing the elitists overlook. They make up a small minority of the paying customers. Drive away paying customers and the developers will have even less money to make the content you want. Corporate is going to force them to switch to making the content that was attracting the majority of players so they start making more money again. Blizzard management had told the WoW devs to stop developing raids back in BC because not enough of the player base was doing them. It was only by adding easier modes so a much larger percentage of the player base was participating that they were able to keep raiding part of the game.

If you want a game where the developers are forcing players to "git gud" then you really should be playing the small indie games that are labors of love, not profit vehicles, and that only have one difficulty level.
