#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I was rarely averse to using GCD heals with AST even in ShB since it was just normal to lose personal dps by healing with the other two. They also added Horoscope then, which just encourages using either Helios too, so the overall design certainly didn't feel like they wanted us to do lossless healing, at least.

Apart from horoscope and the overpowered neutral sect at the time, I remember having my ear bleeding in ShB days because people often screamed they wanted to do lossless healing like AST. CU, CO, CI, Earthly Star, uncharged Horoscope, & Essentials were all free to use due to the nature of their built in 1.5s at that time, whereas WHM and SCH had to 'pay' to a lesser extent to use their oGCDs outside 30s DoT refresh window. They 'felt bad' having to pay for said loss because XYZ had some way to do it lossless'y. Well, look what we get today lmao.
