Why are RDMs so scared of SMN being able to heal?

[Avatre]

There's not a single reason why we would heal in a fight.

Healer dies, tank needs healing, only RDM is alive that can use a healing spell...there is a reason right there.

i have literally never met anyone ingame who was a redmage who was afraid that Summoners can heal.

Is this really a thing or a troll post?

Most likely troll post. I couldn't care less if SMN can heal similar/better/worse/not at all like a RDM. I rarely need to use Vercure, but when I do it's usually just once because the healer(s) are resurrecting.

There is something very wrong if healer dies in 4man content and requires RDM to heal it.

Lag spike, power outage causing the healer to DC - but dies before the DC goes all the way through, inattention, trying to DPS and not move out of AoE, tank pointing cleave monsters towards party...there are numerous reasons why a healer can die in 4man content.
Normally when I need to heal it's 8man, and both healers are dead/in process of being resurrected. Some people are just slow to react to insta-kill mechanics. Seen it lots in older content(Keeper of the Lake comes to mind).
