"artificial difficulty" is poorly defined. Most parts of a video game are artificial. You get 100 health and 5 healing potions? Well those numbers were just made up, and could easily have been 50 and 1, or 200 and 10. The boss takes 5 hits to defeat, or 10, or 3?
I think people say "artificial difficulty" when they mean "I don't like this", but that's not very useful for a discussion without digging deeper.
