Many resources go away when you extract them. A forest has wood, an empty field that used to be a forest doesn’t.
Disturbed land can still be valuable, but it’s much faster to turn a forest into a field than the reverse.

Mineral resources, such as ore deposits, are very unlike that.
To consider another perspective, if one's preferred aesthetic is grassland plains, than the natural emergence of trees might be considered a disturbance.
In common lexicon, the term disturbed is also used in reference to a 'disturbed person', as in a mentally disturbed person -- generally also a negative or undesirable status, so in that context I would agree these negative or positive predispositions tend to be psychological phenomenon driven by conscious or unconscious perspectives.
