Personally, I get through them fine and enjoy the challenge, but I couldn't give a fuck less if in future games there was an easy mode added for players who want to experience the dark fantasy atmosphere and lore without the challenge.

This is the real issue. Maybe giving the player a ton of hp might help, but you may as well just have console enable god mode as an option for players that don't want to get two/three shot by bosses.
I could see something like a boss practice mode being good - allowing you to continue practicing against a boss without dying and reloading - but I've always felt that that's why summoning exists. You can fight the boss without putting key resources on the line and learn the fight thru multiplayer.
