"Actually you can just stand in the corner and have other people fight for you" is different than playing a game, but at a level that meets your skill level.

If your maximum contribution in that scenario is standing in a corner while they do the work, then that IS them choosing to engage with the game at their skill level. If the actual best they can do is nothing, that's literally a skill issue.

Stop treating FromSoft games as special. They're just plain old video games like any other. Everything else doesn't suck because you guys like them the most. Why would you not be critical of things you like?

A: Lose the strawmen.
B: I (mostly) only spend time complaining about things I like, specifically because I like them and want them to be better.
C: As a part of B, I've spent more time analyzing and critiquing these games than your average Souls player has spent playing them, because I really enjoy the genre.
D: Through overexposure I've come to know the difference between bitching because mad and/or bad and constructive criticism.

So many times for these games I've seen people bitch about something kicking their ass or being "unfair" or god knows what, then come back a bit later and go "you know, I was wrong and tilted, it's actually fine and I like it now that I'm on the same page".
