It's all about being lazy. Why innovate, think outside of the box, or consider all of your options when you will be accepted by most groups for doing as little as you can possibly get away with? They are the same people who use "FFXIV isn't [insert MMO here]" when somebody asks for a quality of life change (or any change) and uses another MMO as an example, but they will blindly accept what other MMOs taught them about what the word "healer" means.

The arguments against healers dpsing have focused solely on the fact that "healer" and "dps" are not the same words. That is a kindergarten level understanding of a role that should embarrass anybody who uses it.
