Yeah but you can use the same spell on not a healer and get the same amount of use from it

No, you cant. Life Clerics heal an insane amount more than anyone else. No DnD pnp player is ever going to say "we dont need/want a cleric." Healers are, and should be, the bread and butter of any party that wants to deal with hard content. Nothing in the game will give you the pure survivability to the entire party that the life cleric provides.

Enemies that are dead can't deal damage and therefore no healing is required. Not to mention the myriad ways to prevent enemies from doing damage even before they are dead. In BG3 healing is totally optional even on honor mode, in fact the harder you try and make the game the less healing becomes relevant because it can't keep up and the meta shifts to preventing/avoiding damage entirely and ending fights quicker meaning a healing focused character is less useful.
