Rant: why I stopped pushing clients toward stump grinding

Had a chat with a landscaper in Ohio last week who kept saying grinding leaves a mess for years. He showed me a site we ground in 2021, the hole sank twice and the grass still looks patchy. I always thought grinding was the clean answer, but he suggested just cutting low and letting nature take over. Been doing that on my last 3 jobs, honestly cheaper for the customer and less callbacks. Has anyone else ditched the grinder for a flush cut and got better results?

Is the sinking from roots rotting away after the grind, or just poor soil fill?
