Just put fresh gas in my Ariens walk behind and fired it up for

Any reason you change the gas before the oil?

Nil! What you doin' over in this neck of the woods? =)

And, I think the objective was to warm the engine so all of the oil would
drain.

Right - and no sense running old gas, which might include condensation,
through the carb - plus it's just nice to know that the engine will start
after sitting for a while.
