By its core design - like ASkellington mentioned; we're going to do both. They need to acknowledge this and actually give more than just cookie crumbs to their damage options.
I am bias, so feel free to fact check my statements and/or take my perspective with a grain of salt, but during several interviews with Yoshi P about Sage before Endwalker, he stated specifically that Sage was designed based on feedback received in Shadowbringers that some players wanted more DPS on healers. I’ll give you an example: Zelpa’s Q&A with Yoshi P.
