Flowers need to be deadheaded, trees and bushes need to be shaped so they don’t look like a mess or grow causing issues.

Yeah neglecting the yard and letting it do its thing is simple, maintaining it properly so it doesn’t look like a mess and doesn’t turn to shit requires a decent of time and effort.

Beauty is subjective and most people who claim the top is easier have yards that don’t looks remotely that good.

Meh, depends on the plants. I don't really have any plants the bloom profusely for long seasons (perhaps only Echinacea, but those don't really need to be deadheaded either). Nothing I have self-seeds aggressively in my mulch beds. I can't even grow most traditional types of flowers because deer will just eat them, lol. I very much dislike the look of meticulously shaped shrubs, and many plants have attractive natural growth habits, IMO.
