Leaves go away by themselves quickly, in my experience. It's worm food. Worms are good for soil health. It also feeds the plants and can act as insulation for roots of shrubbery during cold snaps. Yes, if it is a particular thick and wet layer, it can rot the grass underneath. I have seen green thumb people spread it around their lawn and shove it under their bushes. But I guess if you are going for constant golf course style, you have to buy other nutrient and manage the leaves. But golf lawns are ugly.

They break up a lot quicker if you run over them with a mower, which can also spread out the bits leaving a tidier looking lawn, thus keeping the HOA happy (maybe)

HOAs get a lot of hate, but the last one I lived in actually recommended mowing the leaves instead of bagging them.
