I don't think players are automatically "bad" for using them, but we don't need them in the game either.
Auto markers for Titan gaols is one of those things where SE dropped the ball too. They admitted that mechanic was badly designed and never fixed it.
Thing is, DBM and WeakAuras have become something of a necessity due to Blizzard not polishing their own UI properly to be workable even in a raid environment, and instead rolling it off to the community to fill the gaps. And we already saw the problems that come with those, forcing players to have certain add-ons or risk exclusion from raids. Not to mention the drama about weakaura macros that automatically did /spit on those who were using deluxe edition mounts on classic.
