I usually play games on "normal" difficulty these days, for a balanced challenge. However, I don't particularly enjoy boss fights, or at least I don't enjoy the extra challenge associated with them. Was thinking it would be nice if games had a separate setting so I could just set boss fights to "easy", while not making the rest of the game less challenging as well.

As a kid I enjoyed the cheats. As an adult? I way way prefer the challenge.

Same, but I also already have a job, and I don't want a game to just be more work.

In the end, it's personal preference, and so both play styles should ideally be supported.

I love a challenge, it's how I relax. If something isn't challenging for me I quickly get bored and stop playing. I basically need my brain to be stimulated and thinking and trying to properly relax. Which is why I often trend towards "hardcore" or difficult/brutal games.

There's a difference between a challenge and a slog.

Again, personal preference. What I consider a fun challenge you would 100% consider a slog.

Not really. There's a quote a big line between a good old fun and being a fuckin masochist
