Would you like an in-game parser?

That would not be a "Compromise" one of two things would happen. The majority of the playerbase would use one option or the other, and the less used option would become useless to do any content. hilariously enough due to the ratio of people who want to "Get Gud" the option that got ignored would most likely be the DPS meter option making it only used in content that is already saturated in players using the third party equivalent that will most likely be superior to anything Square Enix would cobble together.

This is entirely possible, however seeing as the framework already exists in the game i see no harm in actually adding it and allowing the playerbase to have the option available. If what you say is true and it will be underused then so be it, but at least those who wish to make use of it will have the option unlike now, and those who are using 3rd party ones can continue to do so if they wish, it's not like we haven't had development time spent on things that are barely used in this game before (looking at you LoV).

I think it's better to add the option and let the players speak for themselves, don't you?
