There is a drug called ivermectin that will kill all invertebrate without harming gut bacteria. I'm not sure what gave you the idea [ ... assumption] that treatment against invertebrate parasites automatically is detrimental to our gut biome. And I definitely don't follow your logic towards the end, but have a look at ivermectin it is a hell of a drug.

Consider the fact that it obliterates any and all invertebrate it encounters, of course that is going to lower lower biodiversity.
