*sigh* nobody knows what using small exaggerations to make a point is anymore.

This is a classic case of the phrase "shit or get off the pot". The suggestion that we "delete healers" is one of the two extremes in this phrase. Healers have been sitting on the metaphorical toilet for a long time. Having abilities culled. Being made more boring. And more boring. And more boring. And requiring less healing. With less interesting healing tools. We've reached the point where normal healer gameplay is needing to cast one boring healing spell a minute, then return to spamming one boring spell for the remainder of that minute.

If you're not going to make them more interesting, and the direction the design team seems hellbent on traveling is toward Even More Boring, then enter the point-illustrating hyperbole: why not just delete them? You could replace the role with a -very- simplistic script in most content. Making them more interesting would be fantastic! But the dev team really wants to keep them this boring. And if something is this boring, why does it exist again? This is a game, and games are supposed to be fun right?
