The plot of Alien extremely heavily implies that the xenomorphs were not native to LV-426 and were being carried on the ship with the Space Jockey, who itself ran afoul of one of them. They're extremely unnatural in that a creature whose bodily fluids are a highly hazardous acid cannot fit into an established ecosystem at all and seem to be interested in nothing but consuming and reproducing endlessly
Also Burke was clearly cool with Weyland-Yutani doing experiments on human beings to weaponize the creatures given that's basically what that lab in the colony was doing
Her motivation is she experienced her entire crew being killed by one of those things and she knew it was too dangerous to let out into the wider universe, so the thought of an entire colony of people being overtaken by these things is a tragedy beyond measure and one that could potentially spread to other colonies with similar results
They're space fire ants that are total assholes to everyone it's perfectly reasonable to want to call Space Dale Gribble
To be clear ALIENS does have a reactionary ethos but it mostly comes from the vilification of the military and the Space Vietnam narrative, but it's not really from the aliens. In Starship Troopers it's pretty clear the populace is being lied to about the bugs and the bug war; in ALIENS the xenos are a serious threat to human beings because they view us as prey and are very good at killing us as well as hiding inside of things, like rats bearing plague bacteria on cargo ships.
The xenomorphs are dangerous genetically engineered bioweapons designed specifically to annihilate an existing biosphere and replace it with an invasive parasitoid species
They say this explicitly, pretty much word-for-word in Alien: Covenant

Her motivation was "these things have killed hundreds of colonists and the Company wants to breed them and use them as weapons and fuck that"

Counterpoint: Alien and Aliens are the only good movies in the series and thus the only ones whose lore anyone should give a fuck about.
do not be a DEckhead - media analysis should not use DA LORE as a way to handwave what you are shown explicitly

What OP is saying is that lore from the later movies doesn't really have anything to do with the themes of Alien or Aliens.
