I will never understand lawns.
Lawns became symbols of the elite in England, as wealthy landowners sought to show off their gains via the most ostentatious displays possible outside stately homes.
Colonizing landowners were keen to replicate the look of a manicured English garden. As such, English imperialism is somewhat to blame for lawns being created around the world, where they became a status symbol, and a sign of wealth and well-to-do.
What I don't get is what's the point of a garden with only 2cm-long grass in it?
The point from from old England's perspective is that keeping the grass at 2 cm requires a whole bunch of resources and people, so only the rich could afford it. Even today, any neighborhood with weeds growing instead of a 2cm lawn is instantly classified as lower class. There often is no practical use or sometimes use for games or walking is when forbidden because it's a status symbol only.
It's like asking what's the point of owning a Bugatti Chiron that can go 400 kph when you're stuck in the same traffic jam anyway.
It goes back to the origin stated here. It was desirable because they could afford to effectively waste a lot of acreage on a crop that had no benefit. Simply for show.
That is the point. You’re basically trying to say “Look how rich I am, I can afford to have all this land dedicated to looking pretty and not being useful for anything else”
it's easier to walk in than a garden with only 100cm-long grass in it
also looks nicer than a barren garden with no grass
The point is to make home ownership too expensive for black people by wasting land
Dogs tend to like them. Other than that...
Dogs would be just as happy with any other kind of nature, let's be real.
Maybe overall, but my little Chihuahua/dachshund is too short to deal with taller plants. When we go for a walk by areas with natural growth or even unmowed lawns, he either has to leap through it or walk in the road. I'm sure there are some other options he would be fine with, I don't think grass is necessary, but he is definitely not just as happy with any other kind of nature.
That sounds more like your pup isn't used to it more than they can't deal with it.
