As a healer addict, I can tell you that I prefer group compositions with some durability, so I can react and heal, which normally means having tanks that use guards. I enjoy more healing destro than order, by A LOT. Healing order, with so many glass cannons and so few tanks it's another entire level of challenge. I have even been in a situation in order where we were 5 healers for 1 and a half warbands, and there were even less tanks. That zone taking was a preparation for hell; I have never micromanaged so much in this game. In destro it would have been a crap ton of BOs and Chosens.
Aaahhhaaa! That makes sense on technical level.

So the root problem again is the high numbers of BOs and Chosens (of course: BGs not that "badass") :D

BGs are simply fragile cause, with level 20/22 they think that is a perfectly good idea to run around with halberds :P

They are extremely good later, but most of the time even fresh levels 40 running in Anni think that they can go 2h and survive longer than a dps. Spoiler alert: They can't

So, another one of these, eh?

What prevents you from forming a group (>=2) via /5, discord or the forums?

Soloqueue = RNG, given this is about midtier SCs of all things... there's a good chance the algorithmically assembled clownsfiesta would even fall apart with a perfect 2/2/2.

TLDR: You can waste your time with forum posts, or invest your time by looking for a buddy/group/guild to queue with.

The most informative TLDR I think i've ever read on the forums. Don't like not having healers in your scenario? Duo queue with one.
