For lawn fetishist, they do stick out from the classic uniform green lawn look.

But even for those those that don't care as much. They grow taller than most lawn plants, the grow quickly and they spread. And their stalks do look pretty ugly once they are naked. Like I don't care about having a perfect green turf lawn but even I get annoyed when with just patches of dandelions pop up compared to the other plants in my yard.

The other aspect is social. Right or wrong, dandelions, especially ones that have gone white, are considered weeds that are supposed to be removed. By extension a person who has a lot of dandelions isn't taking care of their property and thus are lazy and have bad maintenance. And that is not an assumption people like having made about them. So people who might otherwise not care about dandelions, get rid of them anyway. And that just perpetuates the cycle.
