I mean, it does 5 NDS, has a slow fire rate, and has some defensive capabilities. Wait, defensive? Nightshade's as glassy as any other plant. Nightshade can protect your other plants...

Similarly to how I use Rotobaga in Big Wave Beach Then you can say Sun-shroom is a defensive plant. It has a equal recharge time and a lower cost. Close-ranged is what you mean, I presume. Yes, you can classify Sun-shroom as a defensive plant. Often times, it doesn't matter if it's a Wall-nut as many zombies instantly kill plants, regardless of its health. Gargs + All-Star = 2 out of 50+ zombies. So, <5%. You could argue Octo or Wizard, but all they do is stall them a slight bit if they were about to attack anyways. Explorers can't be hindered. Imp Punts just suicide if it's not a real defensive plant. Newspaper Zombie can tear through it like a normal mad person can paper. I could go on. There's also Rappers and Glitters during their jam and Barrell Rollers. There are a total of 11 Gargs + 10 Zombots + Explorers (yes, you can douse their torch but function wise they do insta kill plants) + Turquoise + Glitters + Barrell + MC (these last three do take time to kill thus making them not really "insta" per se certain plants but normally their damage output is high enough to consider them as insta kill) + Fishermen (drowns plants thus instanty killing them). So there are a lot of zombies that can instantly or with delayed instance kill your plants without eating. And yes, I know his use of the word is flawed.

Try to think of this from the other side. What do people usually like to spend money on? Stuff that's good and deserves to be purchased. Most plants in their current state are not (save some) worth buying unless they are buffed in some way. So people buying gems and coins for upgrading plants would definitely want to get their hands on something that is powerful. Even though it's an obvious ecploit that's what the devs do always (CoC is a prime example of that).
