I went back and checked the Live Letter and it looks like I had the quote slightly wrong, but it doesn't really change my point. The exact quote of his official translator is the following:

"With the scholar, they typically handled applying barriers, mostly, and they didn't really have the direct capabilities of healing spells. So the responsibility of healing tended to go to other healer jobs. Now, with the addition of more healing spells, now we're sharing the responsibility so it's not just the other jobs, but the scholar is now more able to heal so you can depend on each other."

I edited my original post to more accurately reflect the fact that Yoshi's statement was more about SCH's barriers than it was about DPS. Either way, it shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the way healers work together in reality and raises the same concerns regarding design choices in Shadowbringers.
