Don't mow nearly that often, you need to give the grass time to grow so local wildlife can try to go through a lifecycle when it can. Constantly mowing your grass is terrible for overall biodiversity, lowers soil quality and is bad for pollinators. Only mow like every two weeks if you can.

Having the grass already ruins the biodiversity
Doesn't matter, mowing often will make the problem worse regardless of what's being mowed. Plus, there are tons of local fauna that will use grass to hide, live and grow during the time you'll be not mowing.
Would it be better to plant native grasses? Absolutely. But we should still encourage whatever biodiversity we can to help our local area. Every little bit helps, because it's not just the grass that you're helping by leaving it to grow.
He's talking robotic mowers. Afaik they have to run more frequently because they're not as powerful.
