Why is beauty not always good?

Why is beauty not always good?
These huge seedheads of the Goat's-beard plant are so spectacular and beautiful, especially when the sun shines on them. The depressing thing, though, is that Goat's-beard is a highly invasive plant and has taken over in all our natural areas, choking out our native plants. Sadly, pulling these weeds doesn't seem to make much, if any, difference.
