to be exact Amado said the shinju fed on not only natural energy but the chakra of all living things on a planet. it is a parasitic tree created by the otsutsuki clan to eat up all the energy of a planet, that includes both natural energy and the physical and spiritual energy of life on that planet. instead of changing how things go, i believe they decided correct some plot holes, such as claiming that chakra came from the fruit when chakra is the unification of physical and spiritual energy as such all lifeforms must have already had it, the only thing hagoromo did with Ninshu was share the ability to fuse those energies
