To be fair I don't even know if it's possible to have a "right" difficulty especially when people's skill levels are all over the place. I found that easier games tend to work better so people don't feel gatekept from the whole experience and it's a huge gamble to make it possible for a player to lose while you have a 1 hour time limit for gameplay experience

Most horror games I know do not feature combat at all, and effective horrors I know that do feature combat make them painfully obvious they're undefeatable by making them immune to damage.

You are right about the ease of games to make it accessible for all but I strive to cater for people who like  a challenge too.

Before I ever played Dark Souls, I used to play every game on easy mode but that game has changed my perception of what inspires me to game and now if I find a game easy I will self-impose a challenge like kill of all but the protagonist in easy jRPGs just to make it harder.
