Do you know where he said that exactly? If that is true, the grasp Square has of the healers is worse than I thought.8. Yoshi in a recent Live Letter made a statement to the effect that co-healers were always picking up the slack for scholars in Stormblood, because scholars were too focused on DPSing. I bring this up because the 5.0 scholar changes appear to be consistent with Yoshi's statement - however, that statement has absolutely NO grounding in reality and I find it very odd to let such a myth shape job design decisions (if in fact they did). In actuality, scholars in Stormblood often did significantly MORE healing than their co-healer, due to the fact that it cost them almost nothing to access a powerful selection of healing tools on short cooldowns - Whispering Dawn cost literally nothing, while Indomitability cost them an Energy Drain (150 Potency) - meanwhile, WHM would have to sacrifice an entire GCD to do the same amount of healing, which amounts to much more than a 150 potency loss. Even if all abilities were on cooldown so that a GCD heal was required, the scholar would normally be the one doing it, because their GCD is worth less damage than a WHM's GCD, with Broil being less potency than Stone. So the truth is, SCH was the one picking up the slack for WHM, not the other way around (at least in a group that knew how to play effectively). Now in Shadowbringers, Scholar's healing throughput has become ludicrously high, perhaps to compensate for an issue that didn't exist in the first place, and I cannot help but ask why the job design has headed in this direction.
