Default Why remove moss from a lawn?

Why remove moss from a lawn?
It's pleasant to walk on!
Is there any reason?

It stops the grass growing so well, so if you want a nice grassy lawn
then it can be a problem.

If you don't mind it, then no, no reason to remove it

indeed. A weed is only a plant growing in the wrong place.

It's rather nice if you can get rid of the grass and just have the
moss, No mowing.

Because for some sad people moss = dirt. ;~)

If it's green and comfortable to walk on then I have much more
interesting things to do than obsess about moss and better things to
spend money on than moss killers, feeds, scarifying etc.(like plants -
and creating good conditions in which to grow them) So we have mossy
herb rich grass (that's daisys, self heal, clover, sundry speedwells,
the odd cowslip etc.)
A neighbour of ours has just had his grass 'Green Thumbed' There is
absolutely nothing else in his garden.

The moss does not grow evenly, it goes alll umpy and bumpy.

No. It depends if you want grass.
