Dogs will happily lay in high grass.
My dog loves tall grass so much. He likes stomping them.
There is the risk of tick transmission of Lyme disease in tall grass. I suppose you can pretreat to prevent contraction, but mowing grass means you don't have those threats/hazards to worry about.
I still hate lawns and wish more would be native, but I wonder if there's a way to grow a native lawn such that you invite the good wildlife and keep out the bad. Would need a biologist to chime in
