Why do we need to know the DPS stats on each weapon?

So, whenever I choose a weapon this statistic catches my attention and even though I know that DPS means Damage per second, I don't know why we really need to know it. So my question is why do we really need it?

how much damage, that specific weapon could dish out in a singular second

My guess that DPS has something to do with the hitbox of that specific weapon I'm not fully sure but that's the only reason on why I think that DPS is there

I feel like it's very useless to have the size of the hitbox in the game, besides it's DPS and it has nothing to do with the hitbox, it should have more to do with damage. Thanks anyway

Np but why don't you go to game support instead of community support? For a question like this

But why we need to know that, thats my point

it's just there, almost every single game applies a dps meter, to show much dmg you are dishing our per second or could possibly dish out with that singular weapon or move alone

But then to make it more useful shouldn't it say how long the slash lasts?
Coffee
Coffee3w ago
no?
Cristian🎴
Cristian🎴OP3w ago
Why not?

slash hitboxes don't linger nor do projectile hitboxes, an animation plays and then they're gone
Cristian🎴
Cristian🎴OP3w ago
Im not talking about the hitbox im talking about how many time the slash lasts Like 1.5 second or something like that
