I never used to be able to cope with full switch but now I think I'd lose interest if it wasn't there. People need a pathway to follow as they gain more experience. There really is no need to be hobbled by the demands of the casual simmer.

Some accept the challenge to push through "adapt, overcome, survive" or give up and go home, its human nature... but secret squirrel hidden settings aren't, I feel, the way to go.
The "casual gamer" does need to be taken into account as much as older hardware/ operating systems do (as well so do experienced simmers and product scalability into the future. Having said that though, it is impossible to please everybody). By not taking casual gamers/ low end hardware into account, there is a real risk of running an extremely small niche market and that means very high prices., if in fact it is viable to develop a product at all. Some like to just "shoot s%^& up, others like to hang around at high alt and drop in on unsuspecting newbs, etc, etc the full range. Something which can cater to all tastes effectively has a greater chance of success.

keep in mind, we were all newbs once...
