With, for example, the simplification of the dynamic reflections settings in 0.40 coming slowly but surely, the game's settings are getting easier but also less adjustable. The reason for changes like this is most likely that it will increase the audience that can enjoy this game. There have been already other graphics settings removed, and I think the solution would be to add an advanced graphics tab which has mostly the same settings but is not so much simplified, similar to Cities: Skylines 2. Yes, this sounds terrible, but I think this was one of the few good ideas in that game that were not carried over from its predecessor or Transport Fever 2.
