It’s good to have an alternate perspective. But this one is pretty bad. Cars and freeways are terrible. But many “bugs” aren’t so great either. Carrying diseases like malaria, destroying trees and crops. Infecting other animals. Then to anthropomorphize them and talk about their “families”, just seems like an odd analogy. Maybe one could make a similar analogy about viruses.
Humans also carry diseases and destroy the landscape and each other. By your logic, we shouldn't care about anyone dying, or try to empathize with anything outside of ourselves. Seems like a sad perspective, IMO.
I am not seeing where you understand other perspectives here
