They might, I’m not sure. Elden Ring bosses have been accused of input reading because they seem to know exactly when you’re about to drink from your flask; that seems to be most known example in their catalogue.
I don’t just think it’s accused I think it’s confirmed, I think it’s a fair mechanic, you can see when a boss begins a animation, the boss can see when you begin one as well
How are you supposed to program challenging boss fights if the game isn’t allowed to read your inputs? “Accusing” a game of this is like accusing the oven for heating up.

I guess some moves are more telegraphed than others, but overall I’d agree - there’s usually some way to play around it
