They've literally always had self-healing as part of their identity since their INCEPTION. Even in 2.0 when the job was in shambles, self-healing was its THING. When it was reworked in 2.1, Inner Beast was still a fat heal, they still had bloodbath, they were the only tank with a heal on their combo and thrill of battle was part of their kit.

Heavensward add Equilibrium, and the higher potential damage synergized even more with Bloodbath.

Stormblood kept most of this, added a self-healing component to Steel Cyclone now that Bloodbath was taken away from tanks.

Shadowbringers gave them Nascent Flash which was capable of the healing they have now but no one complained because they didn't understand how good it was and were still using Raw Intuition. Not only that, but most healing buffs in the game got reworked to not just apply to spells, so their self healing was even stronger.

Warrior has ALWAYS been the self-healing tank. ALWAYS.
