When you look at the half of builder sod (green sparse sharp wide blade that resembles weeds) The newly installed St Augustine that looks like grass, you would make the same comment the builder sod looks like green weeds.
Your explanation is what StAugustine should look like, not what some sod looks like in some areas.

Been here since 2007 so kind of know what St Augustine should look like. We take care of our lawns so no cross contamination from lawn guys mowers.
I know what you mean about nice soft grass to walk and lay on. My sister from NY comes to Florida and calls our grass "killer grass" because it is so much more courser than the Kentucky Blue up north. That beautiful soft carpet like grass would probably not survive the hot summers we have here in Florida.
