I think it’s idiocy dependent.
No herbicide is required. No tilling is required.
The pulling of anything you don’t want there, sure. But plants don’t exactly move at 100mph. Unless this is a multi acre plot there’s no reason why pulling by hand once a week won’t win the war of attrition.

Hand pulling is feasible on far more than small yards, particularly if the plan is a wildflower meadow rather than, say, vegetables.
Why try and create a patch of wildflowers if you’re just going to spray herbicides all over it though? It defeats the purpose of the wildflowers! Unless all you care about it aesthetics, which is what this post is mocking in the first place.
You state that the native plants win as if that’s a hardship. Native plants are of course going to win out, they’re evolved for that location’s climate. Choose native wildflowers. Help your local ecology, work with it, don’t fight it. Spraying herbicide is the plant equivalent of napalm or agent orange. It costs you time, effort, money, and more than that, your environment, and in the end you don’t even get what you’re after.
Ignore what local businesses tell you, they’re trying to get your money, use the vast wealth of information on the internet. Let nature do its thing.
