Parsers are just a tool. Tools can be abused sure, but they are still useful! Parsers are incredibly useful for many things, be it personal development, challenge, figuring out the issue in content that's not getting clear, etc...
FFXIV has one of the most mature and nice communities on the MMO market. I am fairly certain that more than 90% of people would not abuse parser, and those that would could easily just be punished for abuse... There is no reason to deny a useful tool to 90% of the community because of 10% of rotten apples...
I have really done A LOT of DF runs. A LOT! And I have met very few people who commented at all about someone else's abilities/skill/etc. Like in many hundreds of runs I have met maybe a dozen. Sure I don't count people who just instaleave when something goes wrong, but those are not really abusers in my eyes.
For example today I did Trial Roulette, got Titan HM, like 3 or 4 people were new. We wiped pretty quick on our first try because of some stupid mistakes, even on my part, nobody complained. Second try the second healer got pushed off right after the second jump, people kept dying to bombs/AoE, and I had to soloheal. We cleared with an average of 2 DPS being dead ever since the Heart phase. Did someone complain? Did someone push blame? Did someone get angry? Nope. The only comment about personal skill was: "Gj Elyza, thanks" from one of the tanks.
As for your "you have no right to judge others!":
1) You are wrong, every single person has the right to judge others based on their behaviour/skill/etc and we do it all the time. What you are not allowed to do is to abuse people because of it.
2) Tanks and healers are already getting judged openly all the time, and they don't get any slack cut. They mess up, and they called out, maybe even kicked. While DPS can just stand there autoattacking and nobody will say a word.
Parsers should be allowed in the game.
