I have had groups with such horrible DPS, the healers and tank were outDPSing all of them. So don't you dare tell me I can't handle actually being in a group with someone with low DPS, because I have seen the absolute worst players in this game. Maybe, if we actually had a tool to let them know how terrible they were doing, they might be able to improve themselves. But instead, I got to waste hours of my time, failing to content that shouldn't even be considered hard, because nobody wants to take the personal responsibility to actually play right.
I'm in complete agreement.

As has been said many times before, there are a lot of players who don't religiously follow forums or look up a wealth of meta-game information, but who might be persuaded to get a clue if an in-game tool (rather than an irate player) gave them the notion that they were doing something very wrong.

I'm not talking about the people who more or less do what's expected of them even if it's not always optimal; this is more about the legit garbage-tier players who aren't even aware that their lack of skill is seriously inconveniencing others.

Someone's right to be terrible at the game extends about as far as it begins to cause others to have a similarly miserable experience, IMO.
