Are there any reasons besides looks, to mow the grass growing on a mound

just grow, including what's on the mound. Any negatives to not cutting
the grass on the mound?

I cut grass over mine. Purpose is evaporation. Your system can't
cover a full 2.5 acres. Does not make sense to be that big.
He's not talking about the fields. I have less than an acre and my
fields are 400' long (4 at 100' each).
The field size is determined by the number of bedrooms, not bathrooms as
you may assume.
