No one cares if you forgo abilities to make the game harder for yourself, its when you turn around and complain that the game is too hard after choosing to limit yourself that makes no sense. You want a no magic no summons run, expect a tougher time. That's on you.It's funny too because the "you're supposed to play it differently" argument isn't even true. It's the old 'non-standard difficulty slider' discussion that goes all the way back to Demon's Souls. Only now, the idea that you'd put a limit on your power to take on a greater challenge is considered "playing it the wrong way".
It's the same as playing Baldur's gate without a mage or cleric and then saying the encounters are too hard. It's okay for the game to expect a certain baseline of power from the player and tune encounters to match. If you can't "figure out what the game expects from you" perhaps you'll have more fun playing a Ubisoft game.
