The meters would just create a mess SE wants to avoid.
Why is this scenario bad though? If someone is woefully underperforming, they should be held accountable. What I never understand about this aversion to DPS meters is even if parses were fully allowed with no restrictions. The ToS still exists. If people harassed someone over their damage, they'd be subject to potential bans just cursing someone out now does. Square's stance is largely because they want to coddle the playerbase. Yoshida has outright said he wants people to pick up the slack for inexperienced players. Which is a mindset that directly contradicts how the community views endgame content outside learning parties.

The irony is without that site everybody knows of, the raid scene would implode within a week. And SE knows it. They're entirely dependent on third party tools they otherwise dislike.
