Infestors are useful in every composition against every composition. They are always cost-efficient if micro'ed correctly.
That still doesn't mean they are OP but when ghosts were useful against everything they got nerfed heavily (snipe and EMP radius)

That's the point though. Infestors are good against everything. Ghosts are only good against Infestors. You don't want mass ghosts, but you need mass ghosts to take on that many infestors.
You don't want to execute a strategy that only mildly counters what your opponent is doing without any way of getting back at him if it succeeds and take an offensive stance. And what zerg army is good without infestors? Which means you can have ghosts in any terran army. If you waste too much supply in Ghost the Terran army becomes terrible in direct combat . The zerg army is terrible in direct combat when you disable infestors. No matter what you say, they will never agree that Ghosts have a use any more. They are hopelessly convinced they are useless. I saw Ryung make ghosts against Hero in NASL Playoffs while being a good bit behind v. colossi/high templar/chargelot and he still had great engagements when down on supply. Possibly the only terran I've seen lately actually use ghosts properly the way they did 6 months ago in the HT v Ghost war, instead of just making 0-2 ghosts with 0 emps and getting rolled over by storms. But nope, ghosts are completely worthless. Better make more ravens that do nothing because he doesn't have infinite money to make ghosts as well apparently. I think they were talking abou specifically for TvZ, not in general I'm speaking about the general refusal to make any unit remotely nerfed that is pretty much shared by every race. It's like the second an OP unit is brought in line, it suddenly is deemed worthless to build, then suddenly the race gets completely destroyed because it refuses..to make...the unit. Zergs are still making infestor even after the infestor nerf =) Also Terrans are still using hellions.
and ravens (they were nerfed at birth)

This, essentially, is the point I couldn't be bothered to properly make.

They are still useful against everything as infestors are still the core of every zerg composition. Ultras without fungal are terrible; same goes for broods.

In what way? The blue flame nerf? No one goes BFH against zerg anymore really. And the queen nerf, it's for map control in general in the first place it seems.
