In a world where most people are normal humans, Very Rapid Healing is still the proper cost. If some people can be supernaturals and get access to Regeneration, they are probably also paying an Unusual Background cost which balances things out.

In a world where everyone is a crazy super people will probably buying lots of Innate Attacks and Regeneration and all sorts of other things. They may not buy Very Rapid Healing. But that doesn't mean the cost is off.
That sounds like a classic argument for Unusual Background. Why not simply get rid of Very Rapid Healing, allow "mortal" characters to take Slow Regeneration, and slap a 5 point unusual background on it?
