Edit: The weed lobby is alive and well in the comments! Just kidding. Appreciate the responses.
But my question still sort of stands. Take away the pejorative label “weed”—what allows these plants to perform better than the other ones?

Weeds are not a real classification. Its just a plant that is growing where a human does not want it.
Since this is biased, a slow growing, picky plant likely won’t pose much of a problem and thus won’t be on average considered a “weed” to most.
Its the ones that make you go out into your garden to fight it, that you interact with the most and thus are more likely to refer to as a weed.
But I promise that if a lily started growing in the middle of your vegetable garden, it would be a “weed” just the same.
