I would not actually include EX Primals in that category, if only because the average difficulty of them as of late has really dropped to the point where official support for parsing really isn't necessary at all in there. It'd cause more problems there rather than anything else, particularly more people enforcing certain party comps, and we don't need THAT in content that is only meant to serve as a bridge to Savage raiding (especially when you're expected to run EX primals maybe hundreds of times on release to get the mounts if you decide to go for them, as opposed to Savage being weekly gated affairs). Failures from EX Primals have far more to do with failing mechanics that outright wipe the run, rather than hitting enrage.
Parsers and FFlogs can read the data to see who is failing the mechanics, there's plenty of useful data that can be gained from a parse even if the content isn't too difficult. Another example of data you can get is the timeline of when the boss goes invulnerable so you know when to hold your CDs. I really don't understand why people are so afraid of having parsers in every part of this game, it really doesn't hurt anyone to have it available from the very beginning. If you can't trust people with this tool, then the community is rotten to the core and the game is fundamentally making people "toxic" as they say.
