90% of the time when I've seen someone going ape shit in DDR they're standing exactly like this
Boy you couldn't be wronger here, pretty much every perfect attack champion plays like this because it's an unfair advantage. We shamed these people at our arcade but it doesn't stop them from setting the highest scores no matter how stupid it looks. Dancing stage fixes this problem well enough.

Psh, he only got a C. Amateur.
It literally says verbatim: "please do not lean or hang on the handrail"
LEAN or HANG. Not saying the guy isn't doing that, but it says nothing about just grabbing it? You can grab it just fine.
And why exactly is it considered "dirty" to begin with? Because its EFFECTIVE. This is what you do to get an advantage, like someone already said.
I bet you're a spinner at foosball as well.
It has absolutely nothing to do with coordination in the slightest, wtf are you on about?
By offloading some of your weight even if only a little, you can move your feet faster. This is a fact for everyone even IF you're already good at DDR as is.
Yeah, well, there's also a warning label on Q-tips to not stick em in your ear canal.
I stopped using q tips and had so much wax buildup that I could barely hear out of my ear. Was a terrible week or so before I finally got it cleared with a softener and water administered through a flared syringe. I went right back to using q tips as I had for decades before. All it takes is a bit of sweeping at the entrance of my ears for me to avoid that crazy buildup, so it's well worth it.
Uh, then wtf is its intended purpose?
It's for holding onto while playing, there's literally stickers on the machine saying to do it. The current machines even advise it during the health/safety prompts. Current songs are charted specifically with the bar in mind. This isn't 2001 anymore. This guy has absolutely zero fuckin idea what he's talking about.
First time hearing about liability?
Sometimes companies will say things that they don't even believe themselves, just to protect themselves from the law.
It's called LI - A - BIL - I -TY
There must be a legal point where something is so obviously meant for a use that no amount of “not meant to be used for this super obvious purpose” can no longer protect a company, right?
My toaster oven's manual says I have to power it down, clean out the crumb tray, and unplug it after every use or risk starting a fire. After every use. That's literally what it says. This is what you get when you give the lawyers free rein over the technical writing. It's insanity.
Found the 2018 East Regional DDR runner up.
Somebody clearly hasn't played dance games since 2004. The old bar-vs-no bar argument has since been shored up with "just play the damn game." Regardless of original intention for the bar, it's even highly suggested/nearly required for high-level play anymore.
I haven't actually read machine manuals for recent releases, but does DDR Ace/SMX/Pump Phoenix still outright state not to lean on the bar?
Back in the day - it was certainly quite the deal! I remember that even Pump Speed division at WPF would DQ players for so much as touching the bar. In retrospect, it was such an odd thing for us all to be so particular about - maybe just the newness of the game and maturity of chart design?
You may be interested to know that while bar play has become the norm, some players are still recognized for choosing no bar play at very high levels.

It says "not to hang or lean on during play," not hold on to. You can hold onto it. Just don't lean or apply significant pressure onto it.
Deutsche Demokratische Republik
What's my favorite DDR machine? Der Trabi.
If you lean on the bar in Trabi, the engine falls out.
What's wrong with his technique? Many people use the bar for balance while playing.
