Tbh I think a lot of people assume it's an ego problem to a point it becomes ridiculous.
I've had a Healer before get mad at me because I told DPS to stop pulling because the Healer was afk ( which they were ).
I told them I was going to leave if they kept pulling.
The first thing the Healer said to me after being afk for 10 minutes without saying a word and with wipes with the DPS continuing to run and pull wall to wall was '' then leave ''.

I left.
People just assume the Tank has an ego problem or is toxic without actually considering or giving any thought to why the Tank doesn't want DPS to pull.
To the point that even a Healer who afks without saying anything will give the Tank shit for noticing and waiting.

Sadly, this sort of trend is happening because dying is no longer an issue outside of loss of time and a weakness that drops fairly fast.
Dying is a waste of time, and we're more likely to die if the DPS pulls.
