if those thorn bushes are native plants, then why not let them grow?

i just let the place grow wild without input from me, beyond what i & my dogs walk over. the grass/clover/purple deadnettle/buttercups/etc stay shorter in high-traffic areas, then the low-traffic areas tend to fill up with bigger wild plants like docks, thistles, nettles etc.

butterflies, bees, and other insects seem to love the thistles when they start flowering, and it's so nice to see pollinators fluttering & buzzing around that it's worth the occasional thorn/nettle sting when i'm not watching where i'm going! not to mention the blackberry harvest from the briars in the autumn.

I suspect the reason those thorn bushes grow is they're probably not native. But they out complete everything.
