To have numbers to compare with in the first place, one must first share those numbers. If nobody shares those numbers, how will you know whether your 280 DPS is sufficient for the content? Were you being carried? Were you carrying others?

I definitely agree that DPS needs a meter of sorts so that they can measure their own performance, but to limit it to just personal DPS meter is a bit redundant in my opinion. Kinda like how everyone can see the enmity bar - imagine if the enmity bar was limited to just the tanks.
