It's my #1 game of all time, but geez idk what they were thinking with some of these balancing decisions >_>

They were thinking that SMRPG is a goofy, fun, short RPGs for kids, because Nintendo games of that era were still designed expressly for kids to enjoy. The two biggest other SNES RPGs at the time - FF 6 and Chrono Trigger - weren't particularly difficult either. 'Balancing' isn't as fun to a kid as 'getting a giant fuck-off turtle shell that can absolutely obliterate the enemy.'

Plus each party member's arc of usefulness roughly corresponds to their relevance to the plot: Mallow and Bowser are useful when you first get them and shortly thereafter, while Peach and Geno are the ideal late-game party members (the former simply because she's the last to join, and the latter because he's the most relevant party member to the core plot of repairing the Star Road).
