If it is in a suburban area (as is the case with the creator mentioned in your quote) a collapse would put surrounding properties at risk

Not just that but part of why planning exists in the first place is so they can verify things like that there aren't buried unmarked sewer lines or gas mains back there.
Right, in a sense, we all own the infra they're endangering.
Now out on the farm, maybe do what you want.
Yes, I'd totally hate my house collapsing over me and my family because the neighboor excavated the rocks that were keeping my house's foundations stable in place.
I assume heavily changing the water infiltration/leaking paths could also have significant effects on how the ground behaves even outside of the area that is worked on.
PS: My dumb brain 30min after waking up: "surrounding properties" + "value" + "at risk" was the phrase I first read from your comment.
