I guess we must exterminate all ducks because they threaten the entire world!!!

I think you’re missing the point.
How many birds did the ostriches come into contact with in between the 69 deaths (when it should have been reported) and where we are currently? That is likely to be a significant spread of a disease that was completely preventable.
The concern isn’t the meat lol, it’s the spread through wild birds which we cannot control which could then have further ecological impacts.
