See Rema SA Orach Hayyim 336:3 
One should be machmir not to eat in "ginos" [viz. On Shabbos] if one
uses water [lest it fall and water the grass]

Clearly people were earing outdoors when it was NOT shabbos

It also begs the question, if one washes around the sukkah on shabbos
then lich'ora would be subject to this concern..

IOW disregarding hotza'a, eating in a sukkah on Shabbas where this is
grass has the concern of watering the lawn, which would have given Hazal
an antirely different dynamic re: sukkah.

Unless sukkos were typically on rooftops
Etc.
