Why do people hyperfocus on bad healers they have gotten over the years and argue that’s a reason tanks should be able to do the healers role for them

I would argue current healer design is why we have so many bad healers in the first place. "Hey here's 18 different buttons anyway you only use 4 of them, GCD more like Glare cooldown" and people drawn to the role that just want to mindlessly press 1 and die to every mechanic because they're watching Netflix in the other window.

This is entirely true. This is a role you pick when you want to get something done while 90% afk or with the brain turned off, because you can perfectly get away with it with almost no impact on your contribution. The only measure that can tell a healer did something cool is on the rare rescue use to save someone in a clutch.

I also think that all these oGCDs do not make healing easier for casual healers as its too complicated to pick what to use with too many options, especially since casual content = roulettes which involves a lot of syncing down where they are taken away so most of the time they aren't even in the position to use them.
