Remaining seconds on dummies should be good enough to compare skill rotations, and finding ideal rotation for certain contents based on other ppl usually requires more than simple DPS meter (e.g. xivanalysis, fflogs etc). I do get your point cos I was pretty much the same, but the problem is I don't think people will stop opting for such features even if the game has its own official DPS meter. Basically what people want is not the meter but the things beyond that, simply having DPS meter doesn't give as much merit compared to the risks.

That said, I do think there are some benefits we indirectly get from people using act. BiS, sub-status calculation, well yes ideal rotation is included too. Again, that basically requires something 'beyond' DPS meter. In the end what people want is not the meter, it's the logs, in the least. And not simply your very own logs, but others' as well.

idk personally I feel like "use at your own risk" is just the most efficient situation for both players and dev
