The second is SCH's are already lacking in healing potency. They have the lowest of all the healers, which is why they have their nigh infinite MP pool, so when you actually do have to heal, you want them to hit for as much as possible so you spend less gcds bringing players back to a safe HP levels.

There's no getting around the point swapping SCH/SMN currently have to do if you want to play these jobs to their fullest potential.
This is for the crazy min/max players. How many people in this game actually do that. Your points are valid yes, but it doesn't change the fact that all 35 points in int on sch isn't game changing. I play smn and sch both and the points are needed more in smn than sch. The fairy scales more off gear than mind so healing isn't an issiue(I've solo healed A11 normal when it first came out).
