Lawns were a display of high status in England, since only the wealthy had so much land that they could show off that they don't have to use all it for growing food and could afford the person taking care of it. Another trend set by british aristocracy would be the white wedding gown, first worn by a british queen. Flushed toilets where only for the super rich too in the beginning. Innovation trickling downi guess. There is a parallel how Tesla started with expensive cars to scale the technology down into the more affordable Model 3. The Mainframe -> Minicomputer -> Personal Computer -> Smartphone -> SBC development would be another example.
