It depends on the game design. If it's a good game then high difficulty is nice because it makes perfecting the mechanics even more rewarding. Then there's mediocre but really easy games like Witcher 3 where high difficulty is need for any challenge at all. (Edit: I mean the fighting/gwent gameplay not the game as a whole)
If it's something like NieR Automata where the gameplay is repetitive, cumbersome, or downright bad, crank that shit to easy so I can get through it
