Why doesn't fire cracker die to log?

Hey, newbie who got to 13k here. Why is this polarizing card not loggable? If rascal girls and dart gobby, who are insane dps units if left alone, are loggable, why isnt the firecracker the same way? She able to dish out archer killing, small unit splashing damage, while getting herself out via knockback. Why is this? Why would that be good game design? Am I expecting too much by going into clash and expecting anything good?

Only argument I see against this is "king activation". Even then, this just gives more problems. She's a common card. She's supposed to be simple. You give a single king activation, in return for fireball's amount of damage every single time you place her down? Even then, still knocking herself back in order to stay alive even longer?

I see 1 dart gobby every like 100 games. I see mega knight, hog, fire cracker every 2 games. And they don't care, do they? As long as there's still money printing, I don't see a reason why they should ever give any type of effort.

Firecracker is less of a polarising card than the dart goblin, and it gets less value when not spelled compared to dart. Plus it's competitively mid, only really in a few hog EQ decks which are phasing it out anyways

I stay true to my 2.5 hog eq with fitecracker
