I have no idea where you are getting any of that in anything I have said. I have also been getting into parties with a lot of sprouts recently. It's fine. They're fine. I'll help them if they need it, otherwise I'll let them go at their own pace. Sometimes they take longer to clear a dungeon and make some mistakes. So did I when I was a sprout. Getting put in a low level dungeon with a sprout tank and having them single pull isn't that big of a deal to me, or being paired with sprout healer asking me as the tank to go a bit slower, or a dps that doesn't understand the boss' mechanics yet and dies -- everyone has to start somewhere. But somehow you seem to have taken me saying "don't use ability macros please, they get really annoying, try to talk things out with a sprout if they don't understand something," as "you're not allowed to be happy and have any fun in dungeons ever." Can't help you there. Many people have explained why ability macros are a bad idea. The core of your issue, however, seems to be that you just don't like running content with new players and harbor some disdain for them, and that's something funny macro buttons aren't going to help with, I'm afraid.
