Why not just look at any other game at this point? You don't want to be handed a win, but also don't want to be handed a challenge that forced the player to get better. The game doesn't want to provide the experience you're looking for, play one that does.

But I have played, beaten, and enjoyed Souls games...

I felt like I made it pretty simple. Souls games shouldn't be above industry-standard, basic genre-agnostic features. Everyone interested in a certain game may have ceilings on their skillset. Difficulty modes or sliders give them the ability to play to whatever level they can. If that truly challenges them and builds personal character is completely irrelevant to anyone else's ability to enjoy the game. If they have to play on baby mode to finish games, they probably won't even know what they're missing out on. You don't even need to balance an easy mode tbh

Is there an overlap between Souls fans and conservative bootstrap types? "It's just not fair that I am out there working hard and learning, but someone can just buy the game and set it easier?" Do we not have the self-control to avoid easy ways out if they are available?
