I think they may be trying to rely on some natural tendencies that we have.

First, we tend to be somewhat competitive. So a grading system brings that out in us.

Second, our landscapes naturally change over time.

Many of the camps around the lake are craftsman buildings that were built among the trees. As the trees succumbed to damage, disease, and age; we remove them to protect the building from being fell upon.

That leads us toward lawns.
Lawns can be expensive and time consuming, so offering us a simple, less expensive landscape option comes into play over time.
Directing that seems to be their focus.
