You can see it better on boss fights if someone is pulling their weight or not with the parse. Honestly this is the mindset that stunts people from making improvements. It's not a courtesy for someone to learn what buttons to press. Its an obligation you owe to the other people in the party.
No, it's not an obligation, it's absolutely a courtesy. Again, these are story dungeons scaled specifically so new players who don't know what they're doing can still progress without issue. It's their content; designed for them. Would it go faster if everyone was in HQ gear pulling perfect rotations? Sure... It's not anyone's responsibility to make it as fast as humanly possible for you, though.

There's content specifically designed for your mindset and content specifically designed for casual play. Story dungeons are casual. If they're not AFK and the content is moving along without wipes, which it always does, then there's no issue.
