That's kinda the point of Souls games though. The encounter isn't impossible, and once your skills and attitude change, you get through it - even though the encounter itself didn't change a bit.
I'm a perfect game sure, but most of these are far from perfect. They often don't explain mechanics, rely heavily on changing Metas, RNG, pure chance, reflexes that some people just will not have no matter what their attitude or mindset is, and so on. Let's have it, these games are FULL of jank.
At the end of the day, the "pros" don't need to adjust their difficulty if they don't want to. More options is never a bad thing.
