In Beyond the War on Invasive Species By Tao Orion, the author gives facts and numbers to back this up.
People are destroying native plant habitats, and creating the perfect conditions for invasives. In fact 90+% of native species aren't threatened by invasives. The invasives actually help heal the soil for native plants.
The author then asks, why then is there a war on invasives? And that's where the book gets good imo.

They crowd out walnut and other hardwoods, they aren't as tall and attractive, and the wood isn't clean burning. Our problem is also deer over-population-- the deer devastate the native trees and bushes but not the invasives.
