Tbf Greco Roman and several traditional folk styles have prohibitions against the legs. People do like throws.

And I really don’t think the average untrained person is going to go for a leg grab. Legitimately never saw that on a nightclub fight (admittedly, been quite a few years since I saw one). Untrained people punch (badly) and shove. Their takedown is “shove and hope the uke trips on something”.
