To note, I never thought it was a healing touch, I put quotation marks to try to convey sarcasm at the term. Also I never thought the mask fragment would go away, if he gives you what you're lacking than it should just remove the hole and not take away anything, which I thought might disarm their hollow nature as a threat while gaining capable and experienced soldiers with all the extra power they got from being arrancar. I realized he may not have cured hollows because in curing them as hollows he would have probably removed the power they had and made them worthless as actual warriors unlike arrancar which had a shinigami-like nature that would keep them strong even if the hollow nature that kept the souls/energy they ate in place was gone. There are 2 factors that make me think he altered their nature to be more quincy like too: 1. Though we only saw 2 actual arrancar on their side, neither seemed to have hollow holes, I admit that they could've just been covered up though, 2. The big thing is that Ebon not just used a quincy cross and no arrancar powers but also was pretty sure he could use the bankai stealing medal, even Haschwalt was surprised the medal failed if I remember correctly
