As a counter argument, lawns are a resilient, walkable surface that’s pleasant to sit or walk on. It’s great for children and pets. I haven’t come across a lawn alternative that is suitable for the load of dogs and children. But I don’t spray, and I do not use a gasoline mower.
I have my lawn bordered with a mix of native and nonnative ornamental plants and trees, forming about 30% of the available land.
The problem is with lawns that aren’t used except to serve abstract purposes, such as signaling status, adhering to socially conditioned ideas of beauty, or holdovers from the colonial impulse to terraform.
For example, I’ve lived in my home for nearly two decades and have not once seen any neighbor use their front lawn other than to mow it. Many are the same way with their backyards. Blocks and blocks of this type of land use, all over my city. This is what the nolawns movement is about.
Having a lawn for sports is a great use. We should keep what we need for our neighborhoods to enjoy life and play, plant native and edible plants on the rest.
There are native grasses too. My clover mix that I made, which i finished off this year so I dont remember what it was, was just a blended native grass and dutch clover. Ive hella violets too that just grow. And, its fun, I realized ive three types of clover in my yard, the white, the purple, and a native yellow!

No argument against that. It’s a status symbol for many people.
My family almost always had a volleyball or badminton net set up. We would be constantly playing there in our teens.

When’s the last time you sat or laid in your lawn?
I lie in my clover yard frequently with my dog. Way less poky than grass.
My definition of lawn includes clover as long as it’s not a monoculture.
