It is and you're right, but there point op was making (perhaps not very well) is that a plain monoculture grass field is about as biodiverse as a car park. In order to be a sustainable ecological habitat for life more is needed than just grass.
Water, trees, bushes, flowering plants etc. These provide shade, places to nest and food that is needed for life to thrive.
A field is essentially an ecological wasteland.
Its crazy how walking into a corn field can feel like a Martian wasteland on the surface
It needs to be native plants too. Just letting whatever grow on the grass often ends up being roadside weeds and invasive species, which is more diverse than just grass but pales in comparison to a truly naturalized praire or woodland.
