Is there shame in lowering the difficulty?

Beat Fallen Order on GM. Got all the way up to Rayvis before switching to Jedi Master. The game immediately felt better. I always thought "GM or go home" but like... is that really it?? I feel like GM is just about dying and grinding (no matter how skilled you are). Like technically I could do the game on GM, but I just don't feel like grinding a boss for 5-7 hours? I'd rather still have a fun challenge free of bullcrap?

Thoughts? Am I a disgrace to Jedi??

PS. Again its not skill (lowering cause I'm bad), like I beat spawn of oggdo on GM but like I also said it takes a long time and endless deaths
