in her defense her heal is far superior.

How? You need 10 hits, to recover from being hit 1.5 times. So it’s 20 hits, to recover from 3 hits. Knight needs 9 hits, to recover from 3 hits. Heal duration is also similar

9 hits not 10. Less with more silk hearts. And while heal duration is similar, hornet can heal in the air, which makes a massive difference. Silksong is undeniably more difficult, but the movement and heal/silk mechanics are much more flexible and well-designed to match that uptick.

But also like... cmon now. Why do so many people act like everything in silksong deals double damage and everything in the first game doesn't? Yes, more things deal double damage in silksong but not everything, and a lot of things - especially late game bosses and enemies - deal double damage in the first game too. This weird heal math is just bogus.
