Are Addons getting Elitist in MMORPG's?

I think addons in MMORPG's are getting just a little bit elitist these days.  I just can't believe the functions of some of them these days.

The latest one I find just filling up with elitism is Rankwatch.  I just can't believe what it does.

How would you like to get a whisper that says "Why are you using rank 5 of your flash heal?  You should be using rank 8.", or "Why are you using rank 8 of mind blast on this boss.  You should be using rank 6 to prevent grabbing aggro."

These aren't exactly what it says, but very close.  If you were in a group, and another party member uses this addon would you be offended, or say thanks?

I personally don't want every spell, heal, or whatever being micro managed from an addon.  Do you think addons are taking the fun out of gaming?
