At the same time, they can have worth.

Ultimately, I think the developers made the right decision. Because parsers have the potential for bad and good, they regulate the behaviour, how they are used, which does seem like a fair compromise.

If I had a vote, I would just ban them entirely, but that may not even be realistic, so I understand the decision to regulate player behaviour instead
By that same logic, should we ban Party Chat and Vote Abandon/Dismissal? Both can easily be abused or "used in a bad manner." I can literally kick you from a dungeon without a single word said and I'm protected under the guise of "difference of playstyle." Banning something because a minority will behave like morons isn't a good enough reason, especially when harassment policies would still be enforced. So if I railed on and on about how you're a terrible player, should uninstall and etc, I'd be rightfully reprimanded regardless if I posted logs or not.

No. The actual reason parsers are "regulated" is because SE likes coddling people. They don't want the Samurai pulling 7k DPS to feel bad even if it's Savage.
