Are you not entertained?
I don't believe Square Enix listened to the "tryhards" more than veteran healers in terms of feedback. No camp somehow has S.E.'s ear over anyone else.

The current state of healers has come about because they have listened only to fellow employees who play healers. Hence, Square Enix isn't seeing the problems they are creating.

You can see this whenever a question about healing pops up in one of the live Q & As. Yoshi always appears stumped then gives a "corporate" answer. Notice how Yoshi will talk for minutes about damage dealers but anything healer related is rushed through.

It's a classic "White Tower" situation and it's a big cause of failure in the gaming industry. FFXIV desperately needs a team devoted solely to the role of healers, people who will take the time and effort to make healing fun, and bring back the core identities of the healer jobs.
