We really need some context here, because each of those situations should handle that conundrum differently.
Taika is talking about using parsers in content where they actually matter: Savage, Ex primals, and now Ultimate. There's no need to use parsers in 4-man content or even 24-man content, and I see far more people harass others without parsers than with them. Heck, I was accused of buying my Savage clears because I lagged out in Ala Mhigo and died to a mechanic. There was absolutely nothing mentioned about my damage--just the fact that I died. I see harassment like that far more frequently than someone saying "Your numbers are trash; please uninstall."

If people aren't doing content that actually call for parsers, or where a parser would be useful, why should they care if people doing said content use it?

Also, threatening to report people that one suspects may be parsing is just as dickish of a move as someone using a parser to harass. Which, again, does not happen nearly as often as a lot of people claim.
