can someone enlighten me? I was always taught growing up that weeds are good for the soil, they will generally die out once its done its job.

Is killing weeds generally used in unsustainable agriculture or are there weeds that truly needs to be killed?

They use resources that other plants need. They can also smother other plants since weeds are fast growing.
