Maybe if games consistently had some kind of really reliable auto-profiling mechanism that could go run various “stress test” scenes with a variety of settings to find reasonable settings for given hardware

…like most games from early 10’s? A lot of them had built-in benchmark that tested what your PC is capable of and then set things up for you.

Yeah, there are auto-calibration systems, but that’s why I’m emphasizing “reliably”. I’ve had some of them, for whatever reason, not ramp up quality settings on hardware a decade later even though it can run it smoothly, which is irritating. In fairness to the developers, they can’t test on future hardware, but I also don’t understand why that happens. Maybe there’s some degree of hard-coded assumptions that fall down for some reason down the line.
