Monocultures such as lots with nothing but one kind of grass choke out local wild life. It is more beneficial to your local biome to have a variety of native plants taking up this place.
Also, immaculate green squares of grass with maybe a couple ornamental bushes are very boring and last century. Why spend time and money nurturing a sterile cookie cutter lot around your home when you can have a colorful, useful lot that nourishes you as well as local plants and animals?
Depending on where you live, grass lawns are often very wasteful when it comes to water usage as well.
This is all a moot point if you have a draconian HOA that will fine you for not having a lot that looks exactly like your neighbors. Maybe try to not move to a place like that.
Man, the suburban house I grew up in would have been so badass if it had been surrounded by a multi tier porch fortress rather than a lawn.
