Why Don't Healers Get Assists/Battle-High Stacks in Frontlines?

[Yoln]

So I'm fairly 'fresh' to FFXIV, as in I didn't start playing until Shadowbringers had been released for a couple months, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something with healing in Frontlines.

I love healing in frontlines; high-octane nonsense of spamming AoE heals and being as disruptive as possible with some tank buddies is my jam. With that being said, it feels pretty rough as the game progresses to have minimal battle-high stacks. I feel pressured to spam dots just to get assist tags, and glares can be hard to slip in during the heat of things.

I can see where AoE heals granting assists (2BH Points) would get out of hand. I even feel pretty darn powerful once I get to Battle High 2 or 3. So could healers get like 1 point for healing assists? Like I said before, I'm fairly fresh and have even less experience in PvP so I'm not clued in to the state of PvP in FFXIV beyond 'it's lacking' or whether that would get out of hand or not.

A summary of my Grievances™:
There's already a lack of healers in the FLs I've been in, and having slower power-gain compared to teammates/opponents not only feels bad but makes me hesitant to go healer so I have to assume that is not unique to me.

I'd love to hear thoughts on it, or just tell me I'm a stupid idiot white mage that should learn how to glare.
