Or to respond to the tank/healers, if the tank is dropping like a rock, ask for their share for cooldown uses, or if the tank is doing fine but not getting heals, ask for the healing share.

If somebody refuses to share, it suggests that they recognize that they may have issues but will refuse to take your help into consideration because they won't help you help them. That saves you time talking to a wall. And, I mean, if three out of four DPS share and they're all fine, and the fourth refuses to share, it's a pretty safe bet where the problem lies. If they're capable of recognizing that they're underperforming and that they're embarrassed to share because of that, then a stranger telling them they're bad isn't going to do anything more helpful.
And this brings us back to the situation where the community has to cater to the specific "jerk" who don't want to improve. So what is the added value of having optional sharing or hiding feature? If they have nothing to hide, they wouldn't be afraid to share. If they're afraid to share for people to find out but don't want to improve, you'd get that particular jerk you mentioned yourself. If he or she doesn't get kicked for weighing the party down, sharing or not sharing the data, this brings us back to the whole "catering to the jerk" issue.

It doesn't suggest anything what a particular person wants. They could simply not be aware of such feature and get kicked because the party thinks he/she's hiding something. If anything, personal parsers would cause far more problems than public parsers:
Hiding your data when requested
Fabricating your data
