Oh, now you assume everyone lives in your climate. That is a great
"north of seattle, WA" plan. Not for me.

Around here if you do that you will end up with cheatgrass (classed as a
noxious weed and you will be fined if you have it), bitterbrush, ragweed
and various other things, not lawn.

You see, with only 12" annual precipitation, which occurs almost
entirely november to march when grass is dormant because of cold, a lawn
will not just "go dormant" in the dry season, it and the roots will
entirely die and blow away before it rains.
