MisterDapper you should ask your co-worker what the point in playing games is.. Is the point in gaming to complete as many games as quickly as possible? If so they should just speed run the games or mod cheats in, or why not just watch a lets play! In fact why not just watch a speed run of a lets play on double speed and then they can "get through the games" as quickly as possible and squeeze 7 or 8 into a day while working!

The beauty of gaming is the playing of them, if you remove any challenges why are you even playing? What's wrong with just spending your downtime on the same game for a few weeks and chipping away at it more and more, getting a sense of accomplishment when you get better and overcome a challenge? Some people now just want progress for the sake of it and have no appetite at all for being challenged and maybe failing, and learning from failure, then we wonder why as a society everyone feels so empty when everything is handed to us without any resistance or chance to overcome anything.

Imagine mario on the nes with a button that just jumped through the game for you... These easy baby mode setting in games are a participation trophy for people who probably need to be challenged and to fail more than anyone.
