Some people need that crutch. Just like a person with a bad leg needing a crutch to get around.

Especially before Duty Support and Trusts were added, some people don't want to be the cause of something taking forever to complete because they can't pick up a mechanic. Watching a guide gives them at least an exposure to the mechanics so that maybe they can progress quicker to getting the mechanic and surviving.

Also gives a color blind person a heads up on if there is going to be a mechanic where they will have a problem with a particular dungeon, raid, or trial or not. That way they can give the healer a heads up that they will need to rescue/raise/heal them as they can't see the safe spot.
