It adds another 3-5 minutes to the dungeon and hardly hurts a thing, if I was doing it for post stormblood dungeons that'd be one thing, but it hurts nothing to ask if folks are new and need the explanations
I hate it when people do that when its my first time in a dungeon - I've been playing since ARR beta and I still hate it when people do that in the new mainquest dungeon on the second day since patch release. I prefer to figure mechanics out for myself, thank you very much - which is why I've opted to disable my chat right after greeting everyone to avoid any spoilers.

At the very least you should ask people if they want an explantion, not if they're new and "need" one. I've been in quite a few runs where someone decided that the new person "needed" an explantion because letting them figure it out themself would've slowed down the run to much - not taking into account that the person in question would've prefered going in blind. Personally I've requested quite a few times not to explain boss mechanics to me (and I usually get them right the first or second time anyways) but people ignored that request, so disabled chat it is for me now...

So yeah, it does hurt a thing to just automatically go into explain-mode.
