In general it may start with helping top tier raiders with the latest savage raid and etc, but soon enough you'll have people getting yelled in Sastasha normal for not being optimal enough.

We already have one cesspool of an MMO, don't really need another one.
This already happens. There is an optimal way of playing the braindead content without the presence of parsing and damage meters, and people get frustrated by beginners and incompetent players in casual content. See their complaints in the Tales from Duty Finder which has 200+ pages of posts.

I don't think it'd be much different whether we had such meters or not, as the culture of hyper-optimizing casual content already exists.
