Wrong analogy.

Agree with Jon with respect to how the article defined lawnmower. They are snowplows in that sense. Or bulldozers.

But lawnmower fits with respect to Val's point. These parents are cutting there children off at the knees in an ever-escalating mission to be Better Than You. It's sickening.

I though it was an analogy tied to tall poppies ...
