Nobody is overestimating the opportunity cost of a missed taunt. There’s simply no reason to spam it. Sks don’t need to do much, it’s not hard to taunt manually, and as you pointed out it gives you the benefit of the first taunt success rate being higher. Given you have claimed root rotting many mobs on a shaman is a viable strategy to increase dps which requires far more APM and concentration, you are clearly capable of taunting manually as well instead of lazily spamming it with a hotkey.
Therefore we can conclude you have agreed you are capable of taunting manually, and since it is superior there is no reason to spam taunt.
Thank you for admitting defeat!

Simply claiming victory without merit is meaningless.
There are reasons to spam taunt, you just want to ignore them for no sensible reason. I prefer to give people all relevant information and let them decide what to do. Hiding information isn't helping anybody.
Snaggles never uses taunt at all. In his case, spamming taunt will give him a higher chance of successfully taunting, while also freeing up his focus. 8.3% is better than 0%. Clearly he doesn't want to press taunt for whatever reason, so this is a good middle ground for a user like that. Adding taunt to a macro you are already spamming (if you have one) takes zero effort. For players that don't press taunt and have a spamable macro, taunt spam is a method to increase agro generation for free, without changing existing habits. Something is better than nothing, and some people may not have realized they could do this.
You could claim that any player who doesn't use taunt is playing incorrectly. But at the end of the day it's the player's choice as to what they do. Give them the information, and they'll figure out what works best for them.
I am not sure why you are so hostile towards discussions. It is very strange.
