That's right. This terrible weed that you can probably find all around you right now is an extremely prolific grower. It forms a dense root network underground which makes eradicating it near-impossible without drastic and expensive interventions. Pulling it only signals it to grow more while it strangles all of the other plants in the area. It would be incredibly irresponsible of you to cut a vine into slivers with one leaf each, dig little holes around the property, and plant them. You will cause thousands of dollars of damage to the property which can't be traced back to you and that's wrong.
What's the difference between destroying arable land and making land arable only after an expensive intervention?
The first involves longterm soil degradation. If you salt the earth or dump oil on it or erode the topsoil, it would take years of rehabilitation for it to grow again.
The second takes a couple weeks and a few cardboard boxes before it's back to normal. It just forces you to either reseed the expensive grass lawn or to change to xeriscaping of some kind, which around here has HOA-proofing and rebates which increase with more native biodiversity. The shrubs around infested areas won't die, but they'll look less healthy while while drawing the attention of the HOA with the large flowers. Again a layer of cardboard on the mulch around them would stop it.
