Plants really said "why pick one reproduction strategy when you can have them all?" But not angiosperms. Those fancy flowering plants evolved to be the botanical elites with their fruits and flowers, looking down on everyone else like "Sorry, we only reproduce through double fertilization." The botanical equivalent of refusing to eat at restaurants without Michelin stars. Meanwhile, other plants are out there reproducing any way they can—budding, fragmentation, spores—basically the plant version of "whatever works, bro."
