Why remove moss from a lawn?
It's pleasant to walk on!
Is there any reason?

It stops the grass growing so well, so if you want a nice grassy lawn
then it can be a problem.

If you don't mind it, then no, no reason to remove it

indeed. A weed is only a plant growing in the wrong place.

It's rather nice if you can get rid of the grass and just have the
moss, No mowing.

Because for some sad people moss = dirt. ;~)

If it's green and comfortable to walk on then I have much more
interesting things to do than obsess about moss and better things to
spend money on than moss killers, feeds, scarifying etc.(like plants -
and creating good conditions in which to grow them) So we have mossy
herb rich grass (that's daisys, self heal, clover, sundry speedwells,
the odd cowslip etc.)
A neighbour of ours has just had his grass 'Green Thumbed' There is
absolutely nothing else in his garden.
