How is the "main purpose" of a job defined? By their role name? If so, a BRD's role is defined as DPS in the game. Are they still expected to sing, because that's not DPS?

Your argument is not logical and you still haven't presented any actual arguments for why should healers be expected to only heal. Is there anything else to it apart from the role name or the assumed developers' intention, neither of which have anything to do with how the game actually works and thus should not have any standing in this discussion?
