ZOS has repeatedly stated in the past that they do not want addons to exchange data from within the game in real time. Main reasons being that they don't want gameplay to be overly trivialized by addons (e.g. coordination in Cyrodiil via an addon that sends the player positions of each participating group somewhere) and also to protect player privacy (e.g. uploading dps of each group member to some sort of ranking site and then autokick anyone who's below x).
Of course that doesn't mean those examples are completely impossible, but it's a lot harder to do and there are other more nefarious things that addons could achieve with real time data exchange, which I'll leave up to your imagination.
