I mean there could be worse things in the tank... aptaisa, flatworms, acro eating flatworms...There are many out there who don’t consider vermatid snails to be pests. I am one of those. When I started the hobby about 12 years ago nobody cared about them, they came and went. This hate on them seem to be a newer development. I view them kind of like diatoms, they pretty much always come with a new tank then tend to die back or disappear when the aquarium matures and finds balance. That said, so many aren’t interested in balanced ecosystems or letting processes play out anymore. Everything is about adding additives and bacteria products to shortcut the natural cycles, which is maybe why some of these pests are taking a greater hold now than they used to. Now aiptasia, that’s a different story, bloody stuff is the devil!
