Why do you think your opinion is equal to everyone else? Just because YOU don't care doesn't mean anything, its irrelevant. An overwhelming majority of mythic raiders do care about it.
"Wasted a cooldown", why do you even think it matters on months old content that nobody cares about anymore?
There absolutely is a reason to give PI to the tank, to have him go for top ranks because its not possible without it...wanna know why? Because everyone else is doing it....
Have you even looked at wcl?
And haste is a very strong stat for most tanks, from prot paladin to warrior execute dumping. Just because YOU don't like that, doesn't change the fact.

Because it motivates people to improve/maintain their level of play even on farm rather than just phoning it in and "just killing the bosses". Not everybody needs that, but it definitely does help others. It's something to do once progress is over and you're on farm.
And by your logic any sport/competition is a pyramid scheme. Once people stop caring about the NFL or NBA or Bundesliga or whatever it doesn't matter at all anymore. That doesn't mean they don't have value.
Next:
Why does a combat res spec is asked to combat res
Can't a DK use AMZ as personal defense
Why can't Mage just TW when they will benefit most
Are people entitled to ask the one Monk in group to hit things
Why does anyone has to drop their rotation to cc/dispel/rebuff/BoP/
And the list goes on.
I enjoy having group support utility and feel powerful and important for it. If you don't, perhaps playing a support role or a spec with support utility isn't for you.
I'm fairly certain there is more to the story of a guild group of several years to turn toxic ove your handling of PI. We will not know that, but arguing that impactful and unique support abilities should be removed because you dislike using them in the most optimal way is by itself toxic. Of course it will cause irritation in others when you mismanage an ability that directly affects them. Have you played other games with support roles/abilities?
That's a great solution until they decide that actually now your spec should also have a CD you need to give away when it didn't when you chose the spec. Shadow didn't have PI for years until it came back in SL, for example, so people did pick a spec that was allowed to keep its own DPS CDs. Rerolling from a spec you enjoy because Blizzard forces a stupid "utility" spell onto that spec is a shit solution.
And I will use it in the most optimal way/on the most optimal person, I just think it's awful design that you're even able to give away your own throughput CD.
Comparing spending 1 GCD on a utility spell to giving away one of your DPS CDs is also extremely disingenuous.

Most people will never be as fit as those athletes, and most people also won't be as good as the people consistently topping warcraftlogs (or getting world first or whatever metric you choose to measure WoW skill with). Not everyone can be trained to play at that level. And people do clearly enjoy seeing high level gameplay, otherwise a lot of streamers would be out of a job (and esports wouldn't be a thing).
Being paid money or not isn't what decides what has value or not.
Just because you don't enjoy ranks doesn't mean they're not meaningful or have value.
