European Wasps are an invasive species where I live and they're fucking up a lot of the local flora and fauna. Also "wasps" is a huge group of species and they're hard to generalise about

Sure, but you could say the exact same thing about bees. The point of the article is that most people see 'wasps' as being all bad, without the nuance that is afforded to bees.

Nope. We have introduced bees and bumblebees as well and they're fine.
