I think a lot of people’s feelings about nature are due to a combination of ignorance/denial of the sheer scope of egregious suffering in nature and not seriously considering the possibility of any alternative.
After all when people see a wild animal actively suffering they tend to want to try to alleviate it, extend that treatment to every animal though and you can at best have something that looks like nature. That being said people would surely redefine nature in such a scenario, so they could still claim they weren’t destroying nature.
