It is not a matter of run time it is how much water is applied. Everyone does not have the same heads or water pressure. Also the soil is not the same. Most of it is sandy clay.
Some people water everyday. The result is shallow rooted plants. Plants will take the easy way all the time. Less frequent watering more applied will water deeper and the plants will grow deeper roots. Easy to check, take a shovel and cut straight down. Your grass roots should be down 6-8 inches. Watering more often encourages fungus and weeds
