Does it affect their health as well?

This game is nothing like dark souls. And yes, of course a higher difficulty affect their health, too! The game is also too easy on hard, like always these days.

I never play on hard anyway it defeats the purpose of gaming.

That. It also is not a souls-like, maybe souls-lite by a stretch.
It looks like it might be and is advertised as such but once you take a real look you can see it's not. Some people seem to think it is a souls-like because bosses are sponges on "challenge" mode and there's a lock on.
It would be like calling Death Stranding a shooter through and through or DOOM a tactical shooter. Yes, there are guns but the point is not "kill everything on sight" and the game makes it clear nor does the latter have strategy elements.

How does it do that when challenge is part of certain genres/series ?

Examples :
Bullet Hell
Souls-like
hardcore FPS (Doom for instance)

Challenge has no place in entertainment, you play things for fun not to be challenged, if you want challenge you go into the real world and do things..

That's quite the take. I get that some people hate challenge. In that case the best idea is playing stuff that's not like that. Expecting genres to bend to that is not a reasonable thing. Not every game is for everyone. If you don't find something you like in gaming maybe it's not your thing...

I think this will be a fun game to try later on down the line.

I would love to check it out on PS5.
