If it's "natural" grass, as in, the grass is native to that area, and it doesn't have to be watered or manicured, then it won't have zero benefits. But I imagine you're talking about lawn grass, which despite being alive isn't particularly natural.

I don't know about artificial turf, but I imagine it's not great for surface water. Does the water get soaked into the ground properly, or does it generate runoff?

Soak into the ground means surface water is slowed down. It means surface water can make it down to the water table.

Not soak into the ground means quick moving runoff that can strip nearby land.

With house foundations and roads, and even lawns, and so on, we keep reducing the area where water can properly soak into soil. Our soils suffer. Our water tables suffer.
