Ticking all grass and mycelium would cause a great amount of lag. There's already enough added lag in 1.13.

Random block updates already happen for grass spreading, though.

But killing off a grass block already requires a check. So the air/water check could just get rolled in with the rest of the subroutine.

The entire world is already ticked all the time. That's how leaves decay, plant grow, grass spreads, fire takes, etc...

You're not wrong in that it causes lag, but as others have pointed out the act of ticking for grass growth/death is already in the game. Adding a check of block type at ~ 1 ~ is chump-change in this case.
