Isn’t heart rate variability a good thing?

Mostly, yes. Heart rate variability ties into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. When both are in balance, heart rate will fluctuate with the alternating activation of those nervous systems.

Although I'm sure there's variations in heart rate that aren't healthy.
