They're taken because they put out good healing AND damage to beat enrage timers in cutting edge guilds.

I'd rather not see that here.
It would be a good thing precisely because the non-dps healers would effectively deleted, and hopefully then reworked to become full dps healers.

Scholar used to have an easy-but-not-too-boring rotation up through Heavensward, typically around 7 buttons in single target fights, which was whittled away in Stormblood and then yanked out altogether in Shadowbringers, for an up to 3 button rotation now in single target fights. As the healers have gradually become more boring, there are more people now who don't DPS at all, because that is what the developers are encouraging, and I can't blame the players.

A significant challenge fully offensive healer design would face is a large amount of untargetable-boss periods where it's expected that you heal or shield up.
