In addition, I wonder what effect this sort of “manual desertification” has on the soil when done en masse.

It seems odd to me to frame this as manual desertification. Isn't it the opposite, return to a natural state after manual "grassification" that requires strong human intervention?

It's not an environment that naturally supports soil. The energy and water needs to support an unnatural environment are quite large.
