It's a false dichotomy. There shouldn't be downtime in the first place, if content was designed to keep healers occupied.

To make an analogy, if DPS players could only do damage for five seconds every minute and the other 55 seconds they had to spam a buff button, everyone would agree that it's insane. But (FFXIV) healers are stuck in a rut of deciding what to do with downtime, as clears are done without 2 healers or even any healers at all.
