Law enforcement will put drug traffickers out of business, and dealers out of a job. Banning coal mining will put miners out of a job. Jobs are not an end in itself, if their value to society is negative.
It does not just "look better in a photo". People are allowed to walk on their daily lives without being bombarded by flashing, highly targeted, hyper-optimised psychological manipulation. Without adverts that make them feel bad, inferior, missing out, all so they buy whatever shit the man with the money is peddling. They are allowed to decorate their buildings and public spaces with aesthetically pleasing art and decoration.

It's a major improvement in quality of life.
