Watched a youtube docu about an early Sierra Robin Hood game 'conquest of the longbow' that mentions they first built this sort of skip option because a brother of one of the engineers was a quadriplegic who could only push 1 button with a stick attached to his forehead.

I got a little teary eyed at that because i have experienced this sort of thing myself recently in Spiderman2018, i was never going to be able to do the puzzle parts, so i just skip them which is incredibley useful. The story and the parts of the game that i can do are what matter, ability matters.
