If anything, it's a strength because it allows her to survive an environment with less air or survive in a vacuum for a much longer period of time without any physical harm from lack of atmospheric pressure. That isn't how it works. She doesn't survive easier than the average human. She is about as weak as any of us at surviving in space or underwater. In fact she nearly dies twice by it. How many times has Barry or Ray nearly died in space? Zero, because they don't have powers that really take them to space too much. Supergirl does it a lot so that weakness is going to be exploited by the writers for her more than the other characters.
