That's the entire point they weren't gaining a bit of an advantage or being notified when they needed to watch out for something.

Uhh, what? There is literally no "harder content" *any* developer can come up with to compensate for the way these addons/weakauras were being used. and not making content that's harder to trivialize. So weird when an addon can trivialize mechanics with a simple arrow, and Blizzard reacts by breaking the addons. Once you zone out of the raid or dungeon, any changes made by an addon will once again apply.Enemy nameplates can still be modified and customized by addons while in a raid or dungeon.When you zone into a raid or dungeon, only your friendly nameplates (if enabled) will be forced to use the standard Blizzard appearance.Nothing whatsoever is changed while you are outside of a raid or dungeon.Just to reiterate since I'm seeing some confusion: However, if you’d like to double-check, this change should now be active in the current 7.2 PTR environment.

We also don’t anticipate that addon authors will need to update their code to accommodate this change customizations should simply stop working once a player zones into a raid, and start working again once they’ve left. Nothing has changed outside of dungeons and raids – addons will still be able to customize the appearance of friendly nameplates everywhere else (most notably in PvP, where they’re most commonly used in ways we don’t consider problematic). In order to prevent this from continuing, we’ve had to disable the ability for addons to modify how friendly nameplates appear while inside of dungeon and raid instances. This caused what was intended to be a difficult test of a group’s ability to identify positioning requirements on the fly to instead become a simple matter of following a visual marker. Recently, we’ve become aware of a couple addons that were using visual adjustments to friendly nameplates as a method to automatically coordinate complex positioning requirements. While, for the most part, we’re impressed with - and encourage - the creativity that addon authors bring to the game using the addon API, occasionally an addon goes too far in terms of automating or trivializing elements of gameplay that are meant to be highly challenging.

With Patch 7.2, we’re disabling the ability for addons to modify the appearance of friendly nameplates while inside dungeon and raid instances.
