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.
