I'm tempted to ask in the plainest terms
I'd ask them this:

'A question was previously asked at one of these Q+As, about the state of healers in the wake of the news that EX roulettes were being cleared without healers, or that tanks had soloed Normal modes of the current raid. After having over half of the question lost in translation, including the pertinent examples of how bad the state of healers currently is, Yoshida responded with something to the effect of 'If you're looking for a challenge as a healer, go try Ultimate'. Given that every Ultimate released so far, including both DSR (the Ultimate the 'go try ult' comment was pointing towards players trying) and the new TOP, have also both been solo healed, I was wondering:

Does Yoshida stand by the statement 'go try Ultimate' that has been very negatively received as 'tonedeaf' by large portions of the healer community? Or is the dev team going to look, as a priority change for 7.0, at ways to change the healer role and it's place in the game, as I and many other long-time healers are becoming very disheartened at the direction of the role and fearful for the future of the role's engagement, or lack thereof'
Also if you want, throw in 'I remember seeing the interview with Asmongold where Yoshida jokingly asked 'do these devs (referring to Blizzard) even play their own game?' Considering the state of healing in FFXIV right now, I have to wonder: Do you, Yoshida?'
