Then I'll again state that this is on the developer not the player. If I need to intentionally handicap myself to have an enjoyable experience(which is what you've suggested three times despite not contributing to the actual debate) then it's bad game design pure and simple.

If I ever feel the need to play through again I'll use a different approach but on my playthrough all I was really enjoying was the exploration so of course I would beat the bosses as easily as I could because they were uninspired to fight and I literally just had to stand there holding L2 until they died.

And this is a build I stumbled into completely on my own using items from the opening areas. It's not like I looked up some "cheese build" as you keep calling it. It's just the path my playthrough took.
