If I want to use WMs, it's my own strategy, not theirs. Sure, they made that out of game design, but that means they took a lot of things for granted while designing them and that's why a lot of people here hate either Dark Ages or Big Wave Beach or both as PopCap decided that since they made the game the game, they made some design choices (and we see customers disagreeing with game companies all the time because of this). Again, whether they've given me plants or not, it's my choice to use them as that's how individual strategy goes. But I digress... They aren't forcing a strategy onto you, they are just putting an obstacle in your way and a way to get around it (well, mostly get around it). You can still une Winter Melons in FC, it just won't be as easy as in other worlds, besides this is not the first time they've "forced" a plant to be used, would you go to a big wave beach level that has 75% of the lawn covered in water without Lily Pads, or to a Dark Ages level without Sun-shroom or Puff-shroom, heck even some levels in Pyramid of Doom are nearly imposible without Grave Buster. But even then, it's still your choice what plants you bring to a level, but sometimes not picking a certain plant would just make things harder on yourself, but like you said it's your strategy not theirs, so if problems arise, they might just be coming from the strategy you chose.

P.D.: I'm not trying to justify everything PopCap does, IMO they've made quite a few mistakes, here I'm just giving my opinion on the matter.
