Elden Ring's developers know most players use guides, but still try to cater to those who go in blind: 'If they can't do it, then there's some room for improvement on our behalf' (www.pcgamer.com)

They shouldn’t have to compromise on the unique experience and simplify it for everyone and ruin what makes them good.

When was this ever about compromising the vision or changing the games? I thought this was about the use of guides while playing.

I'm perfectly happy for all the players who spend thousands of hours scrounging every surface, making conspiracy-boards out of item descriptions and feverishly figuring out every hidden secret in these games by themselves.

It's still completely valid to enjoy all the rest the games have to offer and look at the wiki for how you access the secret area with the hidden boss.
