I think it's part of the RPG appeal to see your character get stronger.
If you scale the enemies too much, and ennemies are still as hard to beat, you don't feel that power levelling.
Even if enemies got a lot stronger you'd still have numbers go up, and less superficially you'd still have significantly more options than a bunch of level 1 characters. I don't want to feel like Superman when the roleplaying situation is supposed to feel grim and insurmountable. My mood to use caution and diplomacy is really killed when I know I can destroy any encounter. I also just want a fun tactical experience in addition to the roleplaying elements, is that too much to ask?
Currently, the game on tactician, even without abusing resting, consumables, or strong multiclass is too easy in my opinion, and this is coming from someone with no prior DnD experience. I do have a little bit of Pathfinder experience as I got WotR during the Steam Summer Sale.
