Because a “healthy lawn and plants” is completely artificial and unnatural. Many “weeds” are native, natural plants that are supposed to be there.
Lawns were originally created by wealthy people as a way to show off, because it was assumed that only rich people could afford the expensive upkeep needed. Middle class began copying the rich and now homeowners in general force plants to grow in a way that is completely contrary to nature because they are expected to.
Which is fine if that’s what you want, but fighting nature takes time and effort.
