That is the same expectation on every single player in the game when doing group content.
Maybe part of the issue is that the role is called "healer" and not "support". Mmorpgs are hardly a new genre and in many of the older ones the healer's job was to literally stand around unless healing needed to be done because mana was in such short supply.

So some people likely see "healer" and think "oh, I know this, done this before in another game" and probably some of them get quite a shock when they find out being a healer in XIV means doing more than just healing. And I guess some are allergic to change.
