This.

It's not just that one block of minecraft was once forest and is now dirt. It's a loss of ecosystem for huge numbers of species.

It's additional GHG as they transport the wood.

Some of that wood will end up being burnt, adding more GHGs.

That's not to say anyone outside the Amazon is entitled to it, but it's not just "not so bad", it actually is bad.
