You confuse setting up a PF with leading a party.
Those two are not connected by default.
While many people that create a PF also happen to provide markers and a macro it is not a requirement because creating a party doesn't make you into the leader in the sense of guiding everyone and providing help. By that logic everyone who is still at prog stage would need to hope for someone who has already cleared to create a practice party to join - which is not the case. Everyone is free to create a party, state what they want to practice and whether they need markers/ macro or not.
If a helper joins, they are most likely the most experienced and will also most likely 'lead' the party or rather provide corrections. They will also have markers, a macro or correct something about what other people brought if they see an issue with that - and all that is entirely possible without having created the party.

Setting up a PF, writing "practice from start, please bring markers & macro. helpers welcome" is a very common description and these parties are perfectly capable of making good progress, with or without helpers.
It also quite common for someone that is not the party leader to post a macro or place markers.
It is, again, quite common for someone not being the party leader to correct strats someone, party leader or not, suggested.
So I stand by it: you are not automatically leading a party simply because you set up PF. The person setting up PF decides what is going to be practiced and has the option to kick people if they think they're holding the party back or cause drama - and that is all that comes with setting up a PF. Nothing more, nothing less.
Just double checked your old post and realized you were in fact just talking about setting up a PF party. I apologize on that one. Albeit, most people who are setting up PF parties typically intend to lead them or should have the mindset they are leading them unless they got someone coming along who is going to do the leading. Otherwise it usually turns into a chaotic mess that goes no where, but sometimes people literally just want to build confidence that they've seen the first two mechanics or something to get things kicked off. Strictly talking about ones for savage and EX content on this and not stuff like hunts and all the other things. People literally throw groups up for casual content sometimes because they got to do blue mage things or kill 50+ hunts in a train.
