Well, I typically don't really do "the same things a lot" in Souls games because thankfully I don't suck to a terminal degree, but to each one his own.

That aside, the comparison with an "assembly line" still sounds spectacularly misguided, given that these are games that reward mastery and skillful execution way more than repetition and go as far as they could from encouraging the player to act mechanically without thinking.
Sekiro in particular may very well be the pinnacle of action combat or at least a very strong contender for the top spot.
