If that's not the actual reason, then why do people keep discussing the moral implications of mosquito eradication?

Idk, 7 articles over 10 years isn't very strong evidence of a raging debate
Surely this isn't the totality of all discourse on the subject.
I do not even think it is morality actually. It is just that citizens of western countries would absolutely like to see these mosquitos eliminated from their countries. It is just that they are against eliminating them in Africa, Latin America etc. In the name of being “concerned about ecological impact.” of doing so. Once global warming accelerates and some of those diseases such as dengue and zika become prevalent here in America public opinion will magically change haha.
Well you can count this western perspective as being in favor of mosquito elimination from the entire planet.
People discuss lots of things, without those discussions being significant influences on policy.
Avoiding mosquito “genocide” has not been a signficant source of policy restraint on eradication efforts, a fact that many of those “discussions” you cite bemoan, but have had no substantial effect in changing.
