Sounds like you be more happy playing a dps job

I'm guessing by your response that you haven't looked at my Lodestone info. I have almost every job at 60 and I actually play many jobs on a regular basis, including DPS jobs. Quite honestly, healing in most of this game's content is so easy that I think I'd fall asleep if I didn't DPS. Throwing out a heal and standing around twiddling my thumbs for 15-20 seconds waiting for the tank's HP to fall isn't my idea of a good time. Scholar's base class is a DPS class and it remains very true to that, which is what I enjoy about it. It's a very flexible job. If I have a good co-healer and a very self-sufficient party (i.e. one that knows how to avoid licking the floor candy), I can crank out several hundred DPS while still helping keep the tanks alive. If the party (or my co-healer) is new or undergeared or just isn't so great, then I can back off of that and go full carry-mode with the heals.

Or maybe they like healing but want to play their job to its full potential?

Removing dps abilities wouldnt work anyway, holy and assize are both healing/dps abilities.

Exactly this. If I can keep the tank on his feet AND help do damage, why shouldn't I?

Good point about Assize, as well.

Removing abilites would never work, that's just gimping the class.

But I wonder if either of those instances are reportable. I don't think "play style differences" really fits here. Both of those look like abuses of the kick system to me.

Removing all damage output from healers would make them very boring to play i agree.
At the same time we all play a class in our own way, for some its praying to the god of deeps and for others its just keeping the party alive. Whatever you choose its your choice and nobody should have any criticism about it. If players want any specific playstyle they should partyfinder it. In dutyfinder you have take the cards that are dealt.

Cutting edge raiding might be different I couldn't say.

I would do the same. I love healing on SCH but honestly once I know the content I really don't have to do much healing at all.
I've literally fallen asleep in a low level dungeon before, it was awful. (I had decided not to DPS but...obv not the right choice hhaha).
