This is a typical problem with the modern gaming culture, though.

"If the top tier players can do it, everyone else can too, they just need to git gud" instead of developing around the majority of customers, with top tier/streamer players just getting to be exceptional heroes to be looked up to like was the case in the past days (remember when Blizzard came to their senses with Wrath of the Lich King, realizing that things like the original Naxxramas and Sunwell were silly because why put that much of your investment into content that only a tiny percentage of players will ever see, and it was perhaps the most beloved MMO expansion in history except maybe for Endwalker?).

Keep in mind that said "gitting gud" can frequently even involve loveliness like degenerate gaming, or even Those Tools. Is it really good for gaming in general to make the standard for RPGs being able to pull off competitive speedrunner tricks, or even worse, TAS being the expected playstyle (which high end raiding has already practically turned into, in particular)?
