Is there a purpose of leaving an ~1ft gap between concrete walkways/driveway and foundation of home?

These are not my home, I found these images on Google, but I am looking to get concrete work done at my house and am wondering if I should bud the concrete up straight to the foundation of my home? Or leave a strip like these around the house that can be filled with gravel/plants

Does anyone know the point of these? Are they for ease of access to the outer perimeter/foundation of the home? Or just for athletics?

I live on a slab foundation in Southern California if that makes any difference. No basement
