with this mindset the future looks dim

I just don't understand one thing, people talk about experiencing content and exploring, but they go in asking the party for an explanation on what to do, so what is the difference between looking it up beforehand and having someone write down to you what you would have looked up?

This.

OP is basically expecting other players to do what they could have done for themselves. No one can demand that others teach them, especially strangers in duty finder. As it is no-ones obligation to explain every mechanic. Especially when that information is freely available.

I've also seen people get ripped if they didn't play a job the way someone else does (or like earlier was just told they "sucked at your job" but no advice whatsoever) then looked up the character and found they "MIGHT" have it unlocked but that's it, here's an idea instead of ripping on someone give advice, and not cut them down.

There are numerous guides available out there on all the jobs with info on how to improve. I'm happy to give pointers where I can. But, in mot cases, what I'm telling them is the same info as what is in the aforementioned guides that they could have easily accessed on their own initiative. You can't expect everyone else to do something you should have and could have done for yourself.

Yup. The severity of what you're asking to be explained is important too.

I'm happy to teach newcomers; I've explained Crystal Tower like three times over and that's not exactly mechanics-lite - but it is short bursts of content. It's not hard to take 20 seconds to explain the entirity of the Bone Dragon fight.

Trying to explain the entirity of the mechanics of Turn 4 or especially 5, given that it's several phases with distinct methods and mechanics that all have to be executed one after another, that is a nightmare.
