Well, Hollow Knight you upgrade what, like 3 times, maybe 5. I don't remember. It's not many. Dark Souls is designed such that you do it much more frequently. If you want to do the spelty upgrades though, you're in for a trip. That and many shops are total pains in the ass to reach in DS. HK does include a shop near the main base, as well as a lot of other important characters. (Also, it definitely isn't 5m each direction. Maybe if you fight everything on the way, but not if you just run.)
It's fine to not like it though. I think you're misremembering how bad it was, but it isn't as easy as most games make things. In my opinion that's good. It makes things feel more real and earned. If everything is just conveniently at the hub or in your menu then it would just feel far too gamey and simple. There's already plenty of games like that. HK is something different.
