What terrible outcome could come out of wiping out human targeting mosquitoes? We already have successfully controlled species that transmit dengue through these means. Mosquitoes that don’t transmit disease may also inflict a lot of pain on people that are allergic to the chemicals in their saliva. We have nothing to lose from exterminating these species.

We could eradicate mosquitoes if we really tried. We already have technologies like gene drive and alternatives like wolbachia engineering. It would have little ecological impact and improve quality of life along with disease prevention. The US could easily finance it if it dedicated justa a bit of its military budget, but more tanks better I guess.
