But it hasn't.

Whenever I propose something that deviates from the pattern of filler spell + DoT + CD action with 2 charges + gauge builder action + gauge spender action, I get people telling me why we can't have it. Except they don't really say why we CAN'T, they just...oppose the idea in nebulous terms of "We don't have to have that". Well, yeah, we don't HAVE to have anything other than a filler damage spell for solo encounters. But that's really not the point.
Critiquing a needless problem in a given suggestion does not mean that one is only okay with existing patterns. What you've claimed is still a strawman; what you are pointing out is not a request for that "all healer jobs need to have the exact same rotation/mechanics". It just means they don't like your particular suggestion.

I can want more downtime depth and agency without wanting to spend 3 buttons on the "complexity" of moving my finger in a loop of 1 to 2 to 3 and back per a 123 combo.
