They have potential to be an interesting defensive troop but I don't get this logic. They make it so they heal heroes and then don't even give them the chance to do that? I don't know, maybe i am missing something?

Healer ai is set up to be drawn to the biggest housing space troop. That's y she is so good to use with giants,pekkas, or golems. She is drawn to them just like heros
If you click the information "i" button on the Healer troop once you open the barracks you will see "ground" on the targets line. This means that both offensively an defensively the healer will only target ground troops. If someone is attacking you and you have a healer in your cc for defense; the healer will heal your buildings and other defending troops such as you aw or BK or any other ground troop you have in the cc. The healers will not target balloons, minions, lava hounds at all. I hope this answered your question.
I believe OP means that a healer on defense SHOULD come out against air troops that the attacker uses because the healer is going to heal ground buildings and units anyway and it shouldn't matter if the attacker is using ground or air troops. But the healers don't come out (I never tried it myself so I will go on my interpretation of OP) in reality which is more of an oversight than anything.
