The problem is, if something like that is going wrong, you don't really have the time to type it out as you're reacting to the chaos.

"tank can you please turn on tank stance so I don't get autoed" gets you autoed to death before they finish reading it.
"please stack with me we need to share the damage to survive" and the castbar finishes as you hit enter.

usually there's time for "TANK STANCE!" or "STACK!" and no one should be offended by basic mechanic callouts

Saying "I don't need need to save tank lb3 for Alexander/omega/ultima/SoS" isn't an opinion, it's just flat-out wrong. This game has binary conditions for a LOT of its mechanics and clear conditions, and we don't need to give the false illusion that there's other options for these things.
