There are people who play healer because they want to heal, there are people who play DD because they too don't want to heal or tank. So why is it not possible to only heal, if there is enough to heal?

Its not meant to be a provocation, only a question.
Because everything about FFXIV revolves around damage. Unlike other MMOs, where they is high volumes of unpredictable damage, this one is heavily scripted. Healers who refuse to DPS will simply spend upwards of 80% of their time doing next to nothing. The argument stems from there simply not being strong healing requirements to necessitating even 50% healing. Therefore, you will stand around doing absolutely nothing, which is what bothers people. Why should a healer get to 50% active when a DPS can't?
