Weeds can easily grow, while the kentucky blue grass or any grass seeds can be very difficult to maintain, and need fertilizers et al. every year. Why?

This is not an answer to your question, but you might be interested to know – Lawns are supposed to be difficult to maintain, that is by design. Closely cut grass lawns first emerged in 17th century England at the homes of large, wealthy landowners. Before lawnmowers, landowners depended on human labor to tend the grass closest to their homes. Only the rich could afford to hire the many hands needed to scythe and weed the grass, so a lawn was a mark of wealth and status. So, people with lawns are trying to show their status and wealth, and you can’t do that by having an easily maintained property now can you? Lol. Think of it that way. These are the travails of a wealthy land barron such as yourself.
