I genuinely can't think of an instance where It took anything away. Far Cry 2? Trivial. RPGs? Immersive. BotW? Might as well be different tier of ammo in a shooter, no problem at all. Plateaus when you are fully decked out, but serves as encouragement to spend your high tier trophies.
There is one instance where it gave me an unforgettable experience. In System Shock 2 I picked repair skill early on, which only allows you to revive a weapon when it's completely broken down, but not to top off it's condition. So I stuffed my inventory with a bundle of salvaged shotguns, each one is only good for 1-3 shots. Suicide bots randomly bursting out of their containers, psionic monkeys whizzing around underfoot, zombies rushing you in droves during alerts, all very greatly enhanced by scrambling to get a working gun in my hands.

The Cathar heresy in France was like this. Happened in a region known for textile production and trade. Banned nearly all holidays. Declared hard work at the loom for minimal pay and owning nothing to be the top virtues. Said women are equal to men i.e. they should also work full time at the loom. Having children is best avoided to give women more time to work which is very virtuous by the way. If any children do get born they should be raised communally to separate them from their mothers and give them more time for work making textiles.

The Church declared a crusade and mercilessly wiped out Catharism, and it's treated like horrible thing to have done against such a beautiful faith.
