Wikipedia started with great intentions and was then hijacked. It is essentially an encyclopedia of propaganda now.
I have a fond interest in what I call powerful plant medicines. Think like how some poisonous snakes and frogs are super bright and boldly colored. Distinguishing them from safer less vibrant species.
This is not to say other plants don't have equally powerful or subtle effects but that some plants have obvious potent effects that you would be silly not to notice. This can be seen in.
Bright colors. Essentially exploding with antioxidants. Turmeric, blueberries, beetroots etcetera.
Strong aromas. Fennel, star anise, pine, cannabis, ginger, cloves and manuka.
Bitter sweet flavors. Some of the aroma class fit in here too like ginger, star anise but chillis also, dandelion, kawakawa (NZ native), cinnamon, cacao and salicylic acid from willow bark... aspirin.
Painful poisons. Like stinging nettle which acts as a natural antihistamine and has some form of mast cell stablization.
Or deadly nightshade, which contains atropine and scopolamine.
Then you have fungi. From antibiotic properties to psilocybin.
Anyone who pretends those plants don't have some level of therapeutic value must be missing part of their brain. They're basically screaming out pick me, use me, I have potent properties.
I won't pretend to understand everything you write, but it's refreshing to read alternative takes; especially since virtually everything presented by our establishments is a lie.

The only way I see this changing is for more and more people to give up on the allopathic model and take on the responsibility for their own health and seek alternative approaches when health issues do arise. Alternatives exist, but the current economic model discourages them.
There is a lot of what I call consumable entertainment that leads those who partake down the path of metabolic disorder. A certain amount of entertainment is fine, if one is fulfilling nutritional needs and detoxing efficiently. The problem arises when people think the entertainment is nourishment because it says so on the box, or is fortified with synthetics, or a basic trust in the system that because it is available in the grocery store, it must be ok.
The current economic model also forces many to accept entertainment as nourishment as they cannot afford real food on a regular basis, let alone organic. These are the unfortunate victims of the intersection of economies of scale in food production and the drive for profit as it leads them to the doorstep of pHARMA.
We may always have a portion of the population who choose taste or pleasure regardless of the cost to themselves. Have at it, but don't force medicate me to 'save everyone' from alleged and unproven threats.
