You don't know how they're going to react, so telling them isn't that simple. It would be better if the starter asked the group what their handicaps were and suggested the proper tee box to play from.
I could be wrong but I think it's an ego thing for a lot of golfers. I get questioned sometimes from different people I play with as to why I play from the whites. I simply tell people what my handicap is.
