What if it's a reverse Superman situation where the new planet makes you incredibly weak and lame, and everyone points and laughs at you as you walk by?

That would not be a very appealing planet.

Alternatively, you could just recognize that when people say things like that, they're talking about making the planet inhospitable for human life (usually just to such an extent that survival would require a substantial shift in how we live, not fully overwhelming humanity's adaptive capabilities and causing extinction), not actually blowing it up.

Most planets would need to be made hospitable for human life before we could make them inhospitable for human life.

And even with Earth, you'd have to substantially try to make it inhospitable, because the environment is pretty good at recovering or only maintaining that harm in small ways.

I feel like the Earth has lots of problems that keep it from being a top tourist destination for aliens.
