It’s an issue of low density. Having single-family houses spread apart with lawns necessarily lowers the viability of methods other than driving because e.g. you have to walk farther to get to destinations, there are fewer riders per mile along the transit line, etc.
Whether you build a single-family house with a yard or an apartment building on a lot absolutely impacts density. Hell, even among single-family houses, whether the minimum lot size is 9000 square feet or two acres (real zoning categories on my city, BTW) absolutely impacts density.
You just keep insisting on missing the point, don’t you? This thread is not actually about grass vs. other plants with density held equal, and never was.

Lawns are better than concrete
Lawns beget concrete elsewhere (in the form of parking lots) by being too low-density for walkability.
Bus, Cable Car, Train, Bicycle
You would think people in this community wouldn’t say something so foolish
Yes, what you’re saying is foolish.

Look you don’t know what you’re talking about and it’s fine
The roads do way more for spreading people apart than the lawns do
Whether you have grass or trees on people’s property does not impact density
Whether you build a single-family house with a yard or an apartment building on a lot absolutely impacts density. Hell, even among single-family houses, whether the minimum lot size is 9000 square feet or two acres (real zoning categories on my city, BTW) absolutely impacts density.
An apartment with a lawn vs an apartment without doesn’t impact density
Nor does a two hectare lot with one vs a two hectare lot without

Me: concrete
You: you’re missing the point
You say that like those are the only two options.
