The road isn't a better option but issues with grass in residential areas:

Tree roots and other trip hazards
People parking their 5 giant SUVs and pickup trucks on them (this can happen on sidewalks too, but it's often worse)
Dog shit that is less visible
Road design is usually more hostile when there aren't sidewalks since they don't even consider the existence of pedestrians
Sometimes it's not grass so much as mud, particularly when flooding has occurred recently (which has gotten more common as climate change has advanced).
Running on a sidewalk (or road) is better for reducing injury despite grass feeling softer (since it's more uneven).

And on the larger sidewalks you can ride bikes on them relatively safely.
