I sorta miss that.

Anything new other than Parsnip? Peashooter is still useful in Levels 1-5 of each world (and maybe even more with proper skills and setups) and the start of the Endless Zones. Useful in the sense that it is your only defense, so you must use it. Once you get a pult or other offensive plant, you almost always abandon Peashooter, like Sunflower, Wall-nut, and Potato Mine (curse you PPM!)

You're thinking about it in the grand scheme of things, though.

Of course when you have options like Primal Peashooter or Fire Peashooter (both of which are miles better than regular Peashooter), then regular Peashooter is going to seem bad. But think about it when it's your only defense. It's your only way to kill zombies. Is it inefficient as all heck? Yes, but it gets the job done. Same with Sunflower, Wall-nut, and Potato Mine, though I argue that Sunflower and Potato Mine can have their (fringe) uses even when the outclassed plants are at your finger tips. I have literally never used SF nor PM except for before I got Sun-shroom and PPM in the Endless Zones.

And no, Gollddman, I also dislike PWN. It overshadows all defensive plants in virtually every scenario. I wouldn't mind if it had less health than a Wall-nut, tbh, and I might still use it for its ability, but not for everything like it currently is. It can't overshadow Infi-nut's PF at all.
