Fromsoft is always leaving in oversights like that. Dark Souls wasn't the only game to have something you couldn't get out of. Armored Core V for example, had a certain loadout that allowed you to endlessly shotgun someone to death and they couldn't do fight back due to how stuns worked in the game.
Though at least they patched AC5 to remove that.
Sure it's a remaster, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be updated, especially if it's just balance.
