The fact that people care enough about DPS that they'd kick the lowest hitter despite having beaten the content speaks volumes about the character of that player.

Depends on the situation, surely?
If I had access to the numbers after a clear, and one DPS was producing phenomenally low numbers, I'd congratulate them on leeching a run and kick them. If they ate dirt most of the run I'd give them the benefit of the doubt for a few more attempts, but if they're still failing? Yeah... Why should I keep them around? The fact that myself and six other individuals managed to carry them means nothing, I'm not going to keep carrying someone in a random farming party when I could replace them with someone competent and make everyone in the parties life easier. Clears would be easier, healers would be less stressed, that's what you want in a farm party, not some leech.
For the Duty Finder kicking after getting the numbers from a clear wouldn't even matter, let alone be possible. Getting any form of numbers at the end of a run is a tool that would only effect statics (who I imagine are on good terms anyway?) and Party Finder groups looking to do multiple runs. For Duty Finder it would simply act as a quantification of skill which hopefully would encourage better play in the long run, which is better for everyone. I'm really not surprised there are so many terrible DPS in this game, there is no way to really quantify your performance, so how are they to know they're doing poorly? Seeing your DPS dwarfed by another sends a clear message. I'm sure plenty of DPS would be jerks lording their numbers over others, but at the same time I'd be more than willing to lend advice to anyone asking me how I got such high numbers.
If the communities general toxicity is the reason so many, including the developers (?), are against this and many other things... I say give the community a chance... Nothing is going to change otherwise, there are plenty of helpful people out there. Doing away with generally useful and good concepts, just because there are a few assholes out there just seems like you're letting them win in my opinion. Even if we just got a personal score at the end of each event, I'd guarantee we'd see a thread for posting such numbers where we'd see people asking for, and certainly getting, advice.
