It's about players putting in reasonable effort overall. Would you be fine with it if, as a dps I refused to use any offensive cd's or ogcd's because Normal has no enrage and I'm not "required" to maximize dps in that content? What about a tank who just auto attacks the boss and pops defensives because tank dps isn't required beyond basic emnity?

A 0 dps healer would be fine in a high damage situation where people are dying, especially if they're new or learning. But if they're twiddling their thumbs for 30 seconds in an easy fight or spamming overheals on something the tank could effortlessly solo and refuse to contribute more because "Enix said I don't have to", while the other 3 players are going all out to the best of their ability, they absolutely deserve the boot.



You also have to keep in mind you pay no one elses account either, so they do have a right to exclude you from their party for "difference in playstyle" if you refuse to contribute.
Your Tank example falls apart under the fact that Tank DPS is factored into Raid tuning.

So heres a fun experiment for you. Take just a Tank and 2 DPS into any high level dungeon. No Healer. Afterall, a healer that isn't dpsing is "refusing to contribute" in your opinion. And since they're "not contributing", you don't need one in your party.
Now, try to complete that dungeon with no Healer. Go on.
