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
Yes. Nature good! Science good! Go kill a one-of-kind dragon so we can learn why it’s doing nature stuff.
Also some of these animals are clearly intelligent. Wear their corpses to warn the others!
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.
