Genuinely Just Curious, Do other people also feel like monsters in wilds are frailer?

Now I know how a lot of people are complaining about the difficulty in this game being easier, but I’m curious are the monsters themselves actually weaker like if we compare to stats in previous games?

Like I am very aware that this could just be boiled down to me still being on low rank and me being very experienced with the combat at this point, but I swear I barely get to blink before the monster starts limping. I just beat rey dau for the first time and while the fight was fun, I felt it was over way to soon
