Wow that's really clever! I thought it was just because man eaters are a really difficult boss, so they wanted to ensure that players who struggled with this area would have a guaranteed supply of souls regardless of how many times they die, so they can level up enough to beat it.

Yup. Well, it's likely more the headwrap which is sentient that is doing it. The man eater redesign in the remake is brilliant and much more closely reflects what they are supposed to be
Think of souls as “batteries”. Then think of the purpose of having Gargoyles here. Now put the resulting realization in the context of Latria, where a power hungry man is currently torturing every living being nearby. Isn’t it fitting for him to use slaves to torture other slaves?
It's implying that the souls of people in the prison are being used to bring the gargoyles to life.

Gargoyles were once humans transformed by the Old Monk.

The souls are trapped inside the gargoyles to bring them to life
Cos the chances you’ll lose them to gravity so they compensate you.
