I don't think they necessarily want to AFK macro it. That's not the only use for macros. There are a lot of handy uses for macros while at the keyboard.

Things like clearing your combat queue and doing a heal to yourself in the push of a button.
/ui action clearCombatQueue; (capitalized exectly like that)
/healdamage self
or watching an entertainer for buffs and making sure you have watched long enough for the buff without manually timing it and making sure you use the right stop command.
/watch briha;
/pause 130;
/stopwatching briha
or any of a million other nice shortcuts to make your game more convenient and customized to your playstyle.

Aliases are another thing that are just like macros and really nice.
I use /ag (short for add guild) to add my guildmates to the administrator list of anything they need access to.
To set it up just type:
/alias ag /setpermission admin Photius; /setpermission admin Todzilla; /setpermission admin Dawk (and so on)
Then just target the structure or the control panel of the house and type /ag
I use /hm (short for heavy maintenance) to pay a weeks worth of maintenance and add a weeks worth of power to a harvester
To set that one up just type:
/alias hm /pay 15120; /addpower 8400
then just target theharvester and type /hm
A few nice ones for naming structuresgo like this:
/alias nma /name mineral harvester - Abe
/alias nca /name chemical harvester - Abe
/alias nfa /name flora harvester - Abe
And once those are in place I just have to target theharvester and type /nma then /ag then /hm and I have my harvester named, paid and powered for a week and available to my guildmates.
Anyway, those are just some of the many uses of macros and aliases. =)
