Elden Ring had plenty of runback.

Runback is a part of a platformer like this. The red thorn area is actually a great example of how it's used. You don't progress just from mastering the boss, but from mastering the environmental mechanics (poking) so that it's not even a big deal to run back to that fight.
You either learn to get good or you uninstall. Demanding even a fucking indie platforming game to hold your hand, when the mechanical mastery is the main appeal of the game, is fucking dumb. Go see if Farmville is still running or something.
