This isn't that they don't understand, considering that the job is what they want it to be, it's that there's a conflict in what players want and what squenix wants. I'm under the impression that squenix specifically didn't want offensive aetherflow dumps on sch, and it's possible that they don't think aetherflow should be used on cooldown, this obviously conflicts with what players think, but they made the job, and they are allowed to do what they please with it.

That said, I wish they'd convey what their intentions are.

This is one of the biggest issues the game has in general (not just with healers.) The devs tend to double down on the the "intended design" even when it conflicts with normal gameplay.

Adding more healing tools and removing DPS options clearly says that they want healers to heal more and DPS less, but they didn't change the battle systems or fight mechanics to accommodate that play style.

You have a point there, they can do what they please with it, but if they make the job unappealing then all you're doing is killing off the healing playerbase with unenticing and frankly boring gameplay on one of the only 3 healing jobs in the game.
