I understand that a lot of people feel this way. 

I suppose it depends on what kind of outcome we can realistically expect. If calling someone out actually has a chance of improving that person, of helping him to understand his failings, then maybe I can see it. As with dentistry, sometimes a little initial pain is required to prevent worse pain in the long run.

But I am skeptical that this is a common motivation. I think that sadism is way more common. And people find ways of justifying it to themselves. 

I also think that most assessments are poorly done. I'm extremely aware of my own inferiorities, but I never get called out for those things on this forum. (Nor do I advertise them.) When people pass judgment on me here, the judgments are generally silly, and the insults mean nothing.
Some people are just bad seeds, and calling them out is not for their own good, but for the good of society. Natural born criminals do not deserve to be free.
