Yeah, you are wrong.

You do have the right to have numbers shown in front of you calculated. It is a basic feature in most games. It is QoL upgrade for many.

I will not quit because I want to play. That's not how this works. SE gives some general guidelines (aka ToS) to follow and ultimately they decide when to stop providing their services to you. I am pretty sure they can terminate any account and come up with a valid excuse saying person X violated Y rule of the guidelines dating 3 years ago and that's the end of the discussion.

Parsing is part of the game for many people and they know that. They don't want to make it official to avoid stressing their casual player base but they also don't want to remove parsing from the game in order to keep the majority of the raiding player base in the game. There is nothing more boring than repeatedly clearing the same content without being able to track your progress. I don't know how people are doing that but I stopped doing it after completing ARR MSQ. Soon after The Praetorium. And initially, I was wondering why it is not a default feature of the game already. I was doing a lot of Frontline roulettes and there at the end screen, you can check your own DPS and the DPS of everyone else and that makes perfect sense. I couldn't do that only in PvE content automatically if I am relying on the game to do the calculations instead of a third-party app. I found it extremely confusing at first to the point where I had to google "How to check DPS in PvE content FFXIV". I didn't even need to get to level cap content or savage content to want that information. And that information is actually vital in some parts of this game, yet the game refuses to provide it to you directly.

I don't get people saying "you don't have the right to do know your DPS, you will get banned". In my mind it sounds like "I don't have the right to know my grades, we will kick you out of school". It's just a bizarre concept for me. It's legit the same thing with different words. "You couldn't beat the enrage timer" = "You made a lot of mistakes on your test". Thank you, I learned a lot.

everyone feels if they perform poorly.

Completely incorrect statement. Poor performance is an entirely subjective criteria in the mind of people when they lack actual data to draw conclusions from.
