Healer balance has always proven to be a very difficult subject.
The main issue comes down to the fact that each healer has a very unique niche where they excel. You'll have an entire raid tier where White Mage is dumpster tier and then suddenly there are 30% more WHM than AST clearing UWU and 60% more in UCOB. If a class is better people will use it and with the healers all having their own niche it's very hard for one not to be better than the other.
Frankly the only way to balance out healers is through some very heavy homogenization as much as I would dislike that.
