People have even said that boss fights and such have set mechanics, unless you push too much. With all this information, it literally does not make sense that healers shouldn't DPS. But oh well. I'll just be a healer so that I don't come across lazy healers :P
Oh please, everything in this game is going to have some sort of lore explanation for its existence. Even glamour does. I would most certainly not take that as the game telling healers to dps.

And what solo content are you even speaking of? Cause the solo I'm speaking should obviously be open world, fates, hunts, and leveling in general. I assume you mean class quests but, those are more to teach you how to use your spells in general than to teach a role. Healer class quests are bad in that regard anyway as they usually have someone else healing instead.
