And dandelion. That's mostly from them being everywhere and easy to grow. And hard to do anything else with.

Humans would do anything for extra calories or nutrients once upon a time.

A plants only a weed if you decide it. If you’ve got a good lawn and almost any kind of mulch, doesn’t matter much what your neighbors doing.

The city stopped spraying for broadleaf unless the field is covered by more than 60% or something, the median beside my house is littered with them, but my front and backyard maybe gets 2 a week to pluck.

Not true for tight small city yards.

I would need a layer of mulch deeper than any of my in ground plants could handle.

I have exactly that, a 1” layer of straw mulch protected my raised garden beds. You can also use biodegradable “plastic” mulch too.

You don’t need raised beds to mulch them?

But then the mulch won't stop the weeds unless I do it deep enough to hurt my plants. I don't understand why you are so adamant that works for you with a completely different setup is so important for me to do.
