But there are many players who are not at that skill level and will not only make mistakes, but will make the same mistakes over and over. These players likely have some amount of fear while playing as healers because they don't want to be the sole reason why their party wipes. SE has made it clear that they want players of this skill level to be capable of clearing content.

By making these Phoenix Down changes, it can relieve that pressure from new or low-skill healers which in term could theoretically allow more breathing room for them to add more engagement to healer gameplay.
Everyone should be avoiding mechanics. The healer isn't there to "heal stupid".
