This might vary by region but here in Central Europe hornets are pretty chill. They don't stray too far from their nests and eat all sorts of less agreeable critters. If anything smaller wasps have something of a reputation here but they're really not that bad either unless they gang up on you. Most encounters go south because people start flailing about. If you remain calm and careful not to squash them you can simply coexist.
Hornets look scary as fuck but you are right that they are very chill. And they don't tend to live near houses as much as the common wasp. But I think the hornets in North America are the same. Introduced by Europeans. Maybe they are more aggressive in North America, maybe Americans just don't know how aggressive wasps can be.
