I don't think most "lawn care professionals" care whether they use a rake or a blower, because they get paid hourly, and their wage floor is set by other economic factors. They use a blower because the company employing them tells them to, so they can charge less and make a higher margin by being able to cram into each day more visits to lawns whose owners are sufficiently inconsiderate or powerless to accept externalizing the noisy consequences of this cost-saving measure onto their neighbors' eardrums. The IDE analogy is a bad one, as the consequences of using an IDE are not visible to the consumer. A better analogy would be, people in a lawn care forum complaining about pop-over ads on lawn-care websites, 300 MB app installs to browse lawn-care store catalogues, and lawn-care online storefronts that double-charge purchases because they had the temerity to click the "back" button. And they'd be well within their right to complain about the negative externalities they must suffer as a consequence of rushed software development owing to mismanaged "agile" timeboxing and dark UI patterns designed by paperclip-maximizing sales teams.
