Yeah this was introduced after the PTB.
Its not really detrimental or anything, at least not for me, I quickscope most of the time and call it a day

I was just lying on the ground, the killer was slugging me, all of a sudden I hear the sound and I was so confused. He was just aiming at me from the swamp ship.

Of course Inner Strength is a better healing perk, that is not the discussion. It is about the statement that Selfcare is bad in any way, which is not true.
And I think it was often enough said that you can use it in a bad way, so in all of your scenarios you need to consider. If you prefer to work on a gen than healing, this would probably be a quick down. Surely a stupid idea when you are on death hook.
And a good killer doesn't allow you to heal? Are you saying that on average survivors are not healing? I wouldn't agree to that. Also an argument that has been raised, you need to find good healing spots. You surely don't heal next to a gen (or in the edge of the map) Btw if 32 seconds is too much to heal and the "good" killer would not allow that, you could also say that the good killer doesn't allow you to fix a gen for 32 seconds, applying the Pop in any case. This is a pretty situational assumption. I would again say, it depends. If you are not on death hook and this is a critical gen regarding a 3 gen, yeah, go down. If you are on death hook or the gen is far outside, don't grant the killer the easy down. That throws your team over if this isn't the last gen.
Regarding your Pop scenarios: Let's put Ruin in instead. If I have selfcare I would punch a survivor letting go of that gen to heal me. That would be a loss of 12 charges on the gen. So, again a situational decision, depending on perks.
And in the perk comparison, you again say "wasted time healing yourself". Again, mentioned several times, if you get healed by others, it is the others' time you waste as well. Again, especially with Botany, healing yourself is more efficient: it takes you 19 seconds to heal, someone else healing you takes 16 seconds for him and for you, which is 32 seconds of "wasted" time. And again: it is wasted when you don't finish it, otherwise you get it back during the chase. That is resource investment.
Beneath all the situations where you can simply play it bad, there is just to say that Selfcare is not wasting time, it is the survivor wasting time healing at the wrong time or in the wrong place. And the strength of Selfcare is simply that you can heal whenever you need it. No "nothing I can do right now, sorry"
Beneath that, I don't get some of your numbers. Why heal 25 seconds? Why stop in the middle? 20 charges of a gen is 25%, 25 charges is 31%. And how do you get to the 28% regression in 2b? Which 6% in 2c?

Don't do math at 4 am.

Selfcare is not that bad. It is bad when people die on hook while someone selfcares, sure. But That's not the perk, that's the survivor. That survivor could also just say "nah, I'm injured, can't go for the save. I'll hide until someone heals me". Same result, maybe even worse because the survivor won't be helpful for an even longer time.
Thing is, if you are healed up, you are not "exposed" anymore. If you can extend the chase with that extra hit, it gives other survivors extra time on gens. Yeah, some people say, it HAS to extend the chase 32 seconds because you wasted that time on healing. Actually 11 seconds is enough because 3 people could work on gens in that time, meaning 33 seconds gen progress. And there was a video for comparing clown gas differences. Without any perks or powers or addons to end the chase quicker or close distance faster, you need 26 seconds to catch up to a survivor you hit, if the survivor just runs in a straight line. I'd say that's worth it. It is just not worth it if you run against killers like Legion for example, that can easily keep multiple survivors injured. Because then you never get out of the healing mode.
Btw, one survivor healing himself with Selfcare takes 32 seconds. One survivor healing another survivor takes 16 seconds, while 2 people are busy with it. 16*2 = 32. Same amount of "lost" time. When you go to someone on a gen and let him heal you, it would be actually more efficient to use selfcare, because when you join him, you both get slowdown on the gen. Better let yourself don't do the gen for 32 seconds while the other one can work with 100% efficiency, than having 0% efficiency for 16 seconds and then 170% . You get less progress after 32 seconds.
The only really valuable thing over Selfcare is, when you team up to heal. 2 people healing someone takes 8 seconds, times 3 for 3 people being busy is 24 seconds.

With Self-Care you're in a much higher risk of being downed again. 32 seconds is a lot to go to a healed state.

Let's look up each scenario, considering that the gen isn't nearly done:

a) You waste 25 seconds healing yourself and the survivor fixes a gen within the same 25 seconds. One person fixes a gen at 1 one charge per second, meaning the gen gets 25 charges. (a gen has 80 charges, 25 charges - 20% of a gen)

b) You (injured) and your teammate do a gen together for 25 seconds. Two people fix a gen by 1,7 charge per second, meaning that a gen gains 42,5 charges within this time period (that's nearly 53% of a gen)

c) The survivor heals you up (16 seconds) and you have a gen fixed by nearly 9 seconds. Considering the same repairing speed, that means that a gen gains 15,3 charges (nearly 19% of a gen)

Now, let's say a killer with PGTW approaches you. Pop decreases the overall progress by 25% and a killer doesn't allow you to heal yourself when you're injured, so if you were healing yourself, you have to stop and run. Let's look up the result of each scenario in this case:

a) You need to heal yourself for another 7 seconds and a good killer won't really allow you do that, you need to move. A gen fully looses its progress. If a killer catches you, your overall 2 people progress goes to 0! Simply the worst case scenario.

b) The gen saves 28% of its progression (53% - 25% = 28%). But you may go down, this one is surely better than the previous one.

c) You may juke a killer for a much greater time because you're healed. The gen goes down but not much time was wasted on it anyways.

I don't know about you but I would certainly avoid A at all cost. Risks are too high and the reward probably doesn't worth it.

One thing for sure, Inner Strength is a much better healing perk, but I agree that it sometimes relies on luck. But I'm pretty sure that you'll find a totem or a locker by just going from one gen to another without wasting that much of extra time. Instead of wasting 32 seconds with solely Self-Care, you waste nearly 26 seconds with Inner Strength (include the time you cleanse a totem, enter and exit a locker).

All in all, the only worthy things you choose from to heal up by yourself are Self-Care+Botany:

2 perks!
5 additional seconds to self healing which can be affected by other perks
You heal others faster and save 4 seconds if there aren't any slow-down perks (that kinda pays off the additional time you waste healing yourself)
Your aura is visible (Say hi to BBQ and Nurse's)
You have to waste 19 seconds during one period of time (Inner Strength allows you to separate 16 seconds you cleanse a totem and 10 seconds you actually heal up)
Infinite amount of usages (usually helps when killers try to deal mass damage)

And Inner Strength:

1 perk!!
16 seconds to activate the perk, but 6 seconds less time to actually heal yourself up
Stable result (isn't affected by any slow-down perk)
No aura-reading (only one threat - Iron Maiden, don't think that Rancor, Infectious Fright do that much to this perk)
Higher chances of getting rid of NOED
Still a bit RNG based (locker and totem placements, plus, your teammates may cleanse totems you need to heal up)
Only a few uses (but most of the times you need to heal up 2-3 times)

I don't know about you, but the fact that Inner Strength takes up only one perk slot surely makes it worth equipping. You have 3 super meta perks: Dead Hard (prolongs chases), Borrowed Time (prolongs the time your teammates live) and Decisive Strike (prolongs the time you live). I'm not sure which one you can replace with Botany, because the amount of time these perks give you during a match is incomparable.

(PS: sorry for mistakes, it's kinda late in my region.)

I generally dislike him as a survivor (his appearance isn't really interesting to me, plus he has the least useful perks) and you say that, moreover, I have to listen to his same frustrating lines over and over? Are you kidding me?
