Clearly written by someone without much tree cover. If I didn’t clear my leaves, by spring the grass would be gone, replaced with slimy black mold. Bad idea.
That being said my town collects leaves for compost, and I usually use the mulching mower on the last few weeks. Nothing wasted, no pollution, some nutrients put back, and I don’t have to wade through knee deep leaves, or suffer mold allergies in the spring.
Note, decaying leaves tend to be acidic, so check your lawn ph and be prepared to add lime

As I said already, I have a bunch of trees in our yard. We never rake. The grass is fine.
