So yes, it was probably a minority of all healers who were like that.
But I can say the same for this Strike.
Not once since the strike began have I seen any mention of it ingame. And I've never seen any # of it in anyone's character profile either.

But hey, even if it might've been a minority who protested against using DPS skills back then and they got their way, maybe this strike, being a minority as well could bring yet another change.
I do however think that the defining difference between then and now is that back then it caused a much larger impact ingame where it was turning players against one another, people got kicked and so forth.
This strike, passive as it is doesn't have the same traction nor negative effects.
Hopefully something will come out of it non the less.
the answers you seek are on the first page, and people are free to use the hashtag or not, nor is griefing by not healing condoned and those people doing so should be rightfully reported:

This strike is a protest. As such, it is not intended to disrupt the game or the players who have subscribed to FFXIV.
The message of the strike is a collective voice of those who are not happy with the state of healing and healers in FFXIV.
