Trees make pine cones that beget other trees. Thinning a young forest is a step that is sometimes needed. Seedlings are replanted into the harvested land directly so this risk of death due to root shock isn't really an issue unless the seedlings are intentionally abused.

But if you cut a mature tree it needs to be replaced with a tree of similar age, not a seedling. That's the whole point why it can be a so expensive mistake.
