When you search wiki for grass, you get landuse=grass. When you type grass in JOSM's preset search box, you get landuse=grass. Potlatch does not offer any direct way to tag grass. landuse=grass was probably used before anyone thought about the difference between landuse and landcover (in osm tagging). Today's renderers support landuse=gras and do not support landcover=anything. That being the reasons for landuse=* domination it is hardly enough to proclaim it the better way. LM_1
