Understand what you mean, just disagree. Rats shouldn't get tougher just because you level up, frankl;y I'd prefer no levelling system at all, using increasing skills and abilities to make tougher opponents beatable with the more intelligent Creatures able to increase their own skills and abilities to provide further challenge..
The thing is no single XP based levelling game, of this scope, can ever please all of us.
It's most often voiced by the all in one go player, as they will always end up overpowered, but I've seen it argued for all types.
Right, it's obvious your way is the true hardcore way, other styles of play must be casual.
Thing is that's why open world games are from a PC gaming tradition.
PC users have the ability to mod games, to make the game suit their chosen style.
PC and Console gamers can also use the lost art, of setting self imposed limits, to tailor the game to their own tastes.
So if you're on PC fix it to your liking, or do what console gamers will have to do, set your own limits. Make it a tougher game the DIY way.

- Some stick to the main quest, doing few if any side quests.
- Others do all the content with one character.
- Another group may do the same, but with several separate playthroughs.

- Use poorer weapons and armour.
- Respec your skills and only use a limited amount.
- Don't use the more powerful potions and oils
- Be innovative and set your own challenges
