I have a friend who parses (don't we all ) and I enjoy out-DPSing the DPSs on a big trash pull. Perhaps you think that's inappropriate for a healer, but as I said, I run a Sage, not a "healer." And even the Endwalker trailer emphasizes a Sage doing DPS over heals.

FFXIV offers four classes they label as "HEALERS" and apparently none of them fit your definition of that label. But me, I judge them on what they are, not on the labels people hang on them. Same as I do with people, BTW.

You wanna relabel Sage as a support class instead of a healer? Fine, as long as I still get fast queue pops.
You don't understand.

They don't think it's inappropriate, you think that because you're not comprehending what you're reading.

All 4 healers spend 80% of their time dealing damage with a variation of 3 buttons sometimes 4 for Aoe. 20% of that time is spent healing, maybe 1% of that time is spent GCD healing.

Considering you "judge them on what they are" you should consider these classes to be support dps right? Since you spend more time dealing damage, than healing.
