commercial landscaping is mostly wasted labor and fossil fuels, expended so fools can ape aristocracy through a commitment to someone's memory of a dream of nature while simultaneously polluting the air, the land, and the water.
having done both for more months than I can count, I'd rather use a rake for 8 hours than have a 2-stroke engine on my back for 8 hours, giving me tinnitus and belching the byproducts of incomplete combustion into my lungs.
leafblowers are the shittiest form of automation and are the choice of owners rushing jobs not workers making a wage.
This is true, for your average suburbanite with 1/8th of an acre they should probably get their yearly workout and use the rake. That being said if you have to do significant landscaping one of those fuckers is a godsend.
the fuck even is the point of a leafblower, just use a rake
then you put the leaves in piles instead of spreading them around for no reason
the point of a leafblower is to sell leafblowers.

don't forget actually desecrating said nature so that it can't be used productively by flora or fauna
When you are the guy who is paid 7$ an hour to clean up a whole campus full of leaves you are glad to have a leaf blower.

i would bet most leafblowers are used to remove leaves from lawns or parking lots, neither of which should existt

but a rake actually clears the leaves out, a leafblower just blows them around
