No one said a parser alone will help but implied so, that's one of the main reason people keep giving for adding a parser.

Anyway, i guess you're forgetting that those people can ask others to parse for them, i've seen people doing that because they were on PS4.

Obviously this isn't the fastest way because they will need to "bother" others to check their DPS, but while doing so, if asked about to a superior DPS of the same Job they can give tips, giving a parser to someone who doesn't have a clue isn't going to make them much better on their own.

All these guides and number crunchers , theory crafters, learning tools are there from people who used parsers and stuff to help us save time and struggles. Blindly following a guide will only do so much. Having my own number right there for me to see is also an asset i would love to have.
There's no reason to blindingly follow a guide, if people go read one it's with one purpose, to improve, if they skip things they're basically ignoring the reason they committed themselves to, improvement.

As for blacklist it's not very useful when:

- You can't blacklist people from other servers
- You still can get paired with those people in DF or even PF if they join your group
