Becaaaaause.... No one cares. (You're welcome)
Once in satasha while leveling my summoner I used LB at the last boss even though we had a melee dps.
He was so mad he told me to uninstall the game cause he didn't want ppl like me at lvl 50
And on topic, I usually type it sometimes in chat to remind the dps of the lb, but thats usually in low level dungeons where you don't know whether the dps are used to playing dps or not
Here is one quite long story, but good example of reason other ppl telling to use LB:
So here's a player waiting on his miner to gather on unspoiled gathering nodes, while in same time DFing for WP, maybe to score some myths to do his book of atma. When that DF pops and checked that he still has to wait at least around 25 minutes before next nodes popped, he figured... oh well, think I should be able to finish 1 dungeon and make it in time to gather.
After he went in, he realized it later that the dps in that party were a bit... slow. And since that dps is a melee, their LB should be way more effective. Unfortunately, he never used it on both mid-bosses. So... when they're on final boss dungeon and already midway with 2 lb bar ready for some time, that melee dps still hasn't used it. So, on that urge of impatient and seeing the clock ticking really close to that gather node that will popped real soon, he finally tells that melee to use that LB ASAP!
Alas, that melee still won't LB for some reason. Then the time really ticking faster and faster, and out of desperation, that player start spamming in party chat log to "Use that LB!". Alas... till the end of the fight, that LB never went off. After exiting, he immediately changed back to miner and rushed to the scene, only to arrive 1 second late and saw that node vanished right in front of his eyes. And he curses the twelve on that melee who's so slow and unresponsive to others.
Now, because of this, he becames to wary to DF and waiting for 1 hour node pops. Lesson's learned: multitasking is a b*tch. lol
BTW, this story is not trying to discourage new players. Just making a point to realize that other people might have other urgent priorities, even though he/she might already prepared on such consequences should things go awry.

Because most DPS i get in my groups forget to LB or wait to start casting when the boss have like 1% HP left and the boss die before they even finish casting. Not, it's not required to beat the dungeon but sometimes it helps a lot when you get a group with undergeared players in fights like Ifrit HM (nails) and Haukke Manor HM (last add).
But asking people to LB is really that rude? I just say "LB" and nothing else, does people really get offended because of that?
There aren't that many good dps running around. Blame them for why people feel the need to tell someone when to LB.
Turn 2 ADS with no BRD in party. Good luck!
Seen so many melee DD not use the LB or use it at the wrong time that it's become much easier to say something to the party beforehand. A simple, "Hey guys, remember to use the LB when it begins enraging." is not an insult to anyone's intelligence, but a friendly reminder just in case someone may not know exactly when to use it.
In a nutshell: Don't take it personally.
I main DRG, and I'm not stupid. Whenever someone tells me to LB, I don't do it. I'd rather wipe a run than LB when some moron spams it in chat.. Especially when it's not the right time to do it.
So if someone told you to do it at the right time, you'd refuse out of spite?
