That's not to say Mercy isn't really good, because she is. But she quite literally had no competition for dedicated healing. Tack the rez onto that and yeah, you're gonna have a healer that's picked more often than most, since you do need a healer every game.
Roadhog at least has competition in regards to bruiser tanks, like D.Va and Zarya.
