AAAAND like many MANY laws and regulations out there, this restriction is in place for those precious few who can't play nicely. ^ This is why we can't have nice things people. Cause people are going to be jerkwads about it. Not many, probably not you. But people are going to.
But people have the right to exclude whomever they want from their group, don't they? And they already do! There already are "high DPS or kick" party finder groups, and people will get kicked if they don't perform to a group's standards - no matter how silly those standards are. All an official parser would change is to make the process transparent: if you get kicked, you will know how you were doing, instead of being left to wonder (if you don't have access to a parser).

What an official parser wouldn't do is allow being a jerk: harassment would still be a reportable offense. So this argument doesn't really make any sense.
