I’m not sure even 10x damage and health would help you get past the final boss if you don’t know what you’re doing.

No one's talking about not knowing what they're doing, they're talking about physical difficulty performing it unforgivingly

Exactly, my point is that the design of Sekiro is so fundamentally unforgiving that giving you a stats advantage wouldn't make the final fights substantially easier, and letting you get there without properly learning from the content beforehand would be like trying to teach a child factorials before you've ensured they properly understand addition and multiplication. 

In this very thread, there's a comment from a person playing Sekiro with a mod to scale the game down substantially who's still finding the game prohibitively difficult. That problem is only going to get worse as they get further, and there's good reason the devs haven't implemented a naive difficulty scaling like this.

I don't agree with this. Fundamentally being able to tank more hits, being able to make more mistakes would make it easier.

letting you get there without properly learning from the content beforehand would be like trying to teach a child factorials before you’ve ensured they properly understand addition and multiplication.

You're misunderstanding, someone can know how to do it entirely, that doesn't mean they can input reliably enough to not make mistakes.

That's not what their comment said. They said they're still finding it difficult, and imply it would be prohibitive if it weren't for the mod. So yea the stat scaling is working for them.
