The majority of this community doesnt think its needed but as a compromise nobody is stopping you from forming groups to use them. Stop making yourself be the victim and over-dramatizing the situation.
Comparing a damage meter to the WoW addons that are used for mid-combat assistance is absurd. Nobody's asking for Cactbot or whatever it's called to be implemented into the game; the content's easy enough as is because the fights are indeed not being designed around it.

A damage meter is nothing more than assistance with post combat analysis. Something that recording the fight and throwing your combat log into Excel can do as well. Recording is already part of the game and used for figuring out mechanics, while manually throwing your combat log into Excel is an excessively long undertaking that is automated through a damage meter. All it does is tell you how well you are doing, while uploading the log of it will compare you to others for reference.

None of that helps you deal with the fight once you pull the boss.
