All of the companions in Skyrim are more dynamic, and much more helpful then the eso versions.
It’s weird, Skyrim came out so long ago, and the companion system there seemed much more robust then their more modern eso counterparts.
1) you could give companions excellent gear matching their playstyle and they would equip and use it
2) somewhat durable, and had the knock down thing, ie when they dropped to low health they would fall down and the enemy would loose interest for a minute (not always)
3) could pull levers, be directed to stand in specific places, activate pressure plates, etc.
4) Some of them had some really nice dialog.... "Wow, this is beautiful.... I'm so glad you are here with me " ❤
5) CARRIED

I thought that was the point of companions, so solo players could get some content done that they could not before alone.

DON'T believe what other people tell you... period! Most of the players complaining about Companions dying are suffering from 'user error' in not adequately leveling and equipping the Companion before taking them into difficult content. Almost every complaint about the Companions dying a lot are from players who don't really seem to want to use them, not wanting to level them first, not worrying about equipping better gear, and not putting appropriate heals/defense abilities in priority.
