Leaving all of them is in itself a human impact on the environment, you wouldnt find a single maple in a forest, but you also wouldnt find a field in a forest. if youre concerned about bugs I'd still be removing at least some leaves

really theyre a resource I'd collect them for compost heaps

A cool solution I’ve seen is mowing the leaves, then raking them across the yard. sounds counter intuitive but they break down/blow away wayyyy faster is smaller pieces, while still cycling their nutrients back into the local ecosystem
