A few thoughts come to mind:
1. You can walk on grass.  You can sit or lie down on it with
reasonable comfort too.  Is any other ground cover so accomodating?

2. Grass keeps all the lawn mower manufacturers and repairmen in
business, to say nothing of teenage boys who cut grass.

3. A groundcover that is not mowed might have to be weeded, if it is
not dense enough to choke out all weeds.

4. There are prettier groundcovers.  Myrtle produces small violet
flowers, for one.

5. Grass seems to be pretty tolerant of sun and shade - what about
other groundcovers?
