OP is talking about max rank healers (and content ) and I myself have also experienced similar things, be it:

- people with all healers levelled using nothing but cure 1/benefic 1 and medica/helios (!) in late and ilvl locked lvl 80 content, which obviously made it impossible to progress because everyone just ate dirt thanks to all the raidwides the boss used and in one instance, both healers of E12n being this kind of healer who, even after everyone begged them to at least use cure 2/benefic 2 etc, refused to do it and instead responded with snark
- again, at level 80 you should at least your jobs' abilities and have the knowledge that 3+ enemies means that you should AoE and yet, for some people it's an alien concept (though I do have to say this is the thing I've seen the least in all my time playing)
- single pack pulling at 80 does nothing but drain the tanks, healers and dps' resources while also making everything take longer and at that rank, one shouldn't have any kind of tankxiety anymore

the majority of the time, people are helpful and try to nicely point out a supposed problem/issue if they notice it, with only a few times I've seen toxic players screech about something that the player in question either didn't know or had no way of knowing due to being a sprout, but in half of those cases, their helpful advice is just met with rudeness and ego, which could make those helpful players think twice about giving advice to the next person they see
and who can blame those players with an ego? they've cleared, even if it took 15-30 minutes longer than it should've, so the helpful player can't be correct - and all those comms they're getting for their 100% medica 2 and regen uptime means they're REALLY good, right?
but no, seriously, once you see both lvl 70+ red mages in your party hardcast verraise and use the dualcast to vercure the max health tank, only to hardcast verraise AGAIN while 3 people beg them with autotranslation to vercure dualcast verraise, then you might see things from a less than rosy perspective, not to mention hardcasting verthunder and veraero at all times, too. and no, they weren't trolling, having run into one of them a few days later in a lvl 80 roulette where they did the very same thing
