Some people are just completely ignorant and don't want them removed because they "look pretty".

Where I live, we have an invasive species of small tree called European Buckthorn. It was brought over in the 1800's from Europe for landscaping, and now it's dominating the local forests. And yet people still keep them on their property.

Well, does it affect badly the local environment ?
Because we also have pnie trees from historical times, but with proper care they can fit with the local flora. Besides, they produce pinecone seeds, which are highly appreciated and a strong tradition here.

It leafs out earlier than most native plants, and it keeps its leaves late into fall. The shade created by this then kills/slows down the growth of native plants, which allows it to take over forests. There is also evidence that it changes the soil structure of the forest too, killing low growing vegetation.

Here's an image of a forest taken over by buckthorn (the green foliage):
