Boss Cutscenes can have story to them and people want to see them.
Forcing newbies to watch videos because oh no, they suck at the new thing they are doing is rude!
Forcing newbies to skip cutscenes because oh no, just watch it after and not while you are experiencing it, thats so RUDE!

I hate seeing new people skip the cutscene in fear of making others wait.

Its an MMO, there will always be new people and the whole "me" thing isnt going to work out. Let them experience the fight, the start of a fight shows mechanics alone first, if they are gonna miss that, they are going to die if they see it paired with other things.
I watch cutscenes the first time I'm in a new instance but I dont demand that everyone waits. If people start without me, then I'll just join in later after the cutscene is finished. If they wait then that's also fine. Never be afraid of just watching your cutscenes, it's that simple. Demanding that people skip their cutscenes is of course very rude, you shouldnt do that. But starting the fight is not the same as demanding that you skip, the game is built so that you can watch your cutscene and then still enter the fight.
I dont think the start of fight mechanics show off is really that fair of a point. If you pay attention, the mechanics are going to be obvious still, if you dont pay attention (as many new and not new players alike do) you'll get hit.
