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.
I was talking more an emotional type of crutch, of course disabilities are another thing entirely. But from what they said, I didn't get the impression it was that.
