Some of my favourite 16-bit games are pretty easy.
I could probably teach my cat to beat Golden Axe, Castle of Illusion, or Actraiser.

Yeah, but there are plenty of difficult games on the current gen consoles. Just because you can play Bioshock on normal difficulty, doesn't mean that you can't make it more challenging by cranking up the difficulty levels. The same with Fallout: New Vegas or Dead Space.
1) I find it funny how often "gamers" want an easy game but hate to admit it or consider it "Normal". Like a psychological oxymoron or using training wheels and calling it anything but.
2) Why can't the reverse be true? Hey, we got GameFAQs, strategy guides, tutorials, playthroughs, walkthroughs, online tips, video game forums, game sites, and the kitchen sink at our fingertips in the age of digital and social media helping us 31 ways to Sunday 24/7, do modern games really need an "easy" default? The answer is no, it's overkill! So, let Normal be "Normal". Let Easy be "Easy". And let Hard be "Hard". If you get your butt kicked in Normal difficulty, that's okay (barring bad game design, horrible unbalance, faulty mechanics, unsound fundamentals, and what not).

No cat has the attention span to play simulation mode.

In Doom/Quake, you can pretty much do what you desire. You can go ahead and explore and get use to the entire region that the game has to offer you or competently shoot your way to the finish line. In Modern FPS games, you are forced to go through informative cutscenes that seem more like experiencing a cinematic movie rather than playing a video game
Exactly! The game industry has been killed and replaced with the interactive movie industry. No longer does challenge, precision controls, and good level designs matter. Now it's just linear hallways and cutscenes every couple of minutes. Gameplay is almost non-existent. It's all about the graphics and story now. If the cutscenes are entertaining, then it's considered a great game.
