I don't like the idea of having my downspouts just emptying out onto the driveway or into the yard. I've seen people mention that theirs are buried.

Where does the water go? Is it tied into the storm drains? I've heard mention of pop-ups in the yard.

Enlighten me, please.
I would make sure you have slopped yard to street other wise you might create swampy area?

Mine dump out by street. Over few years they do plug up some especially if you have large trees and no eve covers along with older roof loosing sand. I use my EGO blower on turbo.

I take down spout pipe off and stick the round nozzle down the drain which fits like glove. Hit the button and water shoot up 3 feet high. Then, I reach down and plug out any debris left in the bottom. Might don’t have the pop up just grate covering the opening.
