Carryover from Warcraft mostly where the tank commonly triples as the puller and the group leader.

That's also carryover from Warcraft where most groups demanded a competent tank, competent healer, then two or three random stooges who could follow simple directives.

It' not a carryover at all, not
from WoW anyway, though perhaps
to WoW. And you seriously think using assist is lazy? I have the complete opposite opinion. it's not only not lazy but ideal, as everyone knows as soon as possible what mobs to target without having to use keyboard communication.
But the vast majority of the time the tank will also be main assist, so you just go with the flow unless the party wants to do things differently. This actually can be quite important if your party has a bard/enchanter so they know what not to CC especially when you start adding DoTs into the mix.
