Blame the British and other old European gentry. They wanted to prove they were so well off that they could have a large section of unproductive land that requires upkeep on their estates. Yards are one of the worst ecological things about detached houses. They basically provide zero benefit for pollinators and require a ton of inputs to maintain.
