I always considered stat padding to be lame. If they can increase difficulty through AI and enemy composition without messing up core rules, that is way, wayyyy more interesting way of doing it.

Agreed. Also, 5e is really based off action economy. Adding more enemies to certain fights does significantly increase difficulty because bad guys get more actions.
