The thing is that for the entirety of ShB, people have complained about the healer engagement, which he completely dodged to instead talk about difficulty. But as far as difficulty for the healer role goes, right now the SB Ultimates are absolutely trivialized by gear, and even for TEA, if you somewhat know what you're doing with your job (which honestly, what would someone clueless about their job be doing in Ultimate?) you're still spamming DPS GCDs 80% of the time, and it's really not that engaging. What makes Ultimate difficult is that it's a marathon that depending on who you're raiding with can very much be mentally straining, it is a big commitment that no one should be told to make to be engaged by their job. Additionally in Ultimate, a mechanic being failed = one shot or wipe 95% of the time. You can't heal a one shot, you can't heal a wipe.
On top of that, healers who complain about healer engagement likely either have already cleared and farmed the Ultimates we currently have, especially since we had a loooot of time in ShB to do that, or they very understandably chose not to participate in such content. It's also a really really tone deaf thing to say when we haven't had an Ultimate in nearly 2 years and none of them allow healers to play with their lv90 kit.

At this point especially P1S is only savage in name, as far as difficulty goes, it's an extreme fight. I don't really vibe with giving savage extreme-tier difficulty for the sake of "accessibility", people sign up for savage to do savage, not extreme.
