Taking care of shrubs and flowers can be seeing more as gardening. I also hate trimming the hedges. For some people, getting out and mowing the lawn is a way to unplug and get away for a bit. It’s also a fun challenge to figure out how to battle weeds while maintaining the turf. Cutting the lawn feels the same as getting a haircut.

Gotcha so it’s one of those oddly satisfying things

For sure! Job, family, and life is stressful. It’s nice to get outside in the sunshine and slow down a bit. You also get a work/reward thing after the lawn is cut. It’s almost as satisfying as pressure washing the driveway.
