Unless you're a pure 'strength athlete', not using straps puts you at a disadvantage.
There's a time and place for everything...and, fortunately, it's only the overuse of something that's potentially detrimental.
Your post:
Assuming you mean 'by' here you'd be correct.
..that is, assuming the user in question did everything, including tying his shoes, with his straps on.
Fortunately, the majority of lifters don't.
The majority uses straps when training within the upper limit of their strength or volume range.
Straps serve to allow the lifter to push past limitations.
Limitations, such as grip strength, do not increase exponentially when straps aren't used.
Ergo people choose not to limit the their overall development.
I beg to differ.

Even though i managed to increase the weights way up
