ELI5: why is it that the various bugs and flies in the garden have decimated my bean and courgette plants but never touch any of the weeds?

The same reason that you eat beans and courgettes instead of the weed plants. They have higher nutritional value. Not only that, they have higher nutritional value than (practically) anything found in nature, or at least in the range those bugs travel. They're the product of hundreds to thousands of years of humans selectively breeding plants to get the most out of them.
