I don't dislike grasses but personally, I think they're a bit 'overdone' these days and are just beginning to lose popularity a little. *They're used in a lot of municipal planting, so I wonder if there is too much of that association in the public's mind, perhaps. The popularity is for its biodiversity, wildlife friendly and ecologically sound (cleaning) benefits. If these plants are commercially viable, then I'm for one very glad people make money out of them for precisely the benefits they bring as opposed for a 'fashionable' reason. The 'municipal planting' effect as a long way to go before achieving the aesthetics one dream off like those of Piet Oudolf, for a start there's quite a job in getting rid of the thousands of dusty aucubas, rhodos and privets and the millions of petunias one usually find in our municipalities.
