And yet the shortage has gotten so bad that multiple places are talking about it.

This isn't just a forum echo chamber thing. People who laughed about the healerstrike are also acknowledging a shortage, and it's still early in the tier, it can only get worse from here.

You keep saying that numbers support you, yet you don't have these numbers, no one here does, only SE themselves have the numbers.

You're also pointedly ignoring the fact that it's getting really bad on JP, the place where people think healers are greatly enjoyed. 2ch is complaining about bad healers and also lack of healers joining PFs. There's been documented instances of people offering millions of gil for a healer to help their PF. Why aren't people offering gil to tanks if they're equally as scarce?
