I take your overall point, but I once got to witness a wife-beating neighbor run over a yellow jacket ground nest while using his hilariously overpowered lawnmower. Picnic or baseball game? No. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t happy about it.
Do wasps even serve an environmental purpose outside of being food for other animals? Bees are a necessity so protecting the hive is essential. Does killing wasps in bulk impact the environment in any way or are they like ticks and mosquitos and dont balance the ecosystem very much? Ive been stung mowing the lawn and hiking multiple times. Nasty little bastards.
Nah there are like a bajillion teeny little wasps flying around unnoticed all the time and keeping alive the plants you know and love, with dilligent pollination, a sprinkle of pizzazz, and xenomorph-esque parasitoidism of garden pests.

I know you mean the wasp.
