I think in-universe you are trying to keep the environment in balance but it’s so hard to make a good story for a game exclusively about killing and wearing monsters that it never works out.
Iceborne ends with the main characters thanking Nergigante only for that particular Nergigante to be the target of a future hunt regardless.
The older monster hunters were more about being a village protector and the hunter guild actively worked to maintain a natural balance…I saw in a video recently that in the newer games though the developers actively shied away from environmental themes
Hold up… Nature good so… Exterminate it? 🤔

Not quite as bad as Tri’s Elder Dragon being literally just a whale that specifically doesn’t threaten humans, but close.
