Parsers provide more than just DPS information. DPS/HPS/damage taken and from what sources; this is all extremely vital information, and the purpose of a meter goes far beyond shaming less skilled players, and is in fact a necessity for a group tackling progression content with feedback that will better prepare them for subsequent attempts.

People need to get off their high horse about respecting these nebulous groups of players who will be intimidated by seeing the math they produce in game, and instead contemplate the practical and positive effects of teaching players how to study a parser from level 1.
