My lawn is all sorts of dry after the PNW heat wave, but the weeds sprouted up like a forest.

A lot of plants we bring to our gardens may not be within season or native to the region where we live. We have to make a number of adaptations for them, including specialised fertilizers, watering schedules, pesticides, etc.
Weeds, on the other hand, survive and thrive in quite a few harsh environments with whatever resources they can get their hands on and often compete for resources with other plants. They are also native to the area and climate in which your garden is located and are happier in a wider range of soils than the plants you chose to have. Some of these weeds have underground roots that help provide them with resources and energy, and normal weeding will not rid your garden of these since they can be deep. Weeds can also self-fertilize and a number of them may even attempt to poison neighbouring plants with toxins.
