They only have Basic Defense. You can essentially render their killing ability completely useless. While Doctor and Bodyguard have to predict who will be attacked to save them, this role, well it just doesn't require skill and is extremely powerful. Then, only WW and Arao can attack the Town which is still a small force. Permanent defense for Town is usuall extremely overpowered, no matter the sacrifice. In this case, it just sacrifices an abnormally high defense and becomes the most powerful TP. Well, if the mafia attacks the Insomniac, he/she will be immune, so they won't attack again. Besides, if the mafia out them the next day, the Insomniac won't be able to defend themselves because they can't speak. If they decide to reveal themself next, the mafia may predict this and kill them. The NK's now have a new claim when they were attacked.

It may have a very powerful ability, but it has faults. Except the META wouldn't be "I have to survive for ages and start giving out defense later". It would be "GIVE PEOPLE AS MUCH DEFENSE AS POSSIBLE". Even if evils had Invincible defense, it wouldn't matter to Town - Town's main weapon is lynching. So the Insomniac a) has a higher chance of giving it to a Townie because of Townreads and majoirty and b) Doesn't need to worry about giving defense to Mafia.
