it depends on the tree.
many trees (eg pine trees and acacias) put out poisons that make it impossible for things to grow below them. This gives them full run at all the nutrients and moisture in that area.
other trees are more happy to share their environment and grass may grow right up to the trunk of these ones.

Well, if the acidity was the culprit, there would be few lawns where we are cuz
we got tons of big fir trees everywhere. I think it is more likely a case of
lack of moisture and the deep shade. Even grass recommended for shade does not
produce the same type of lush lawn you would get in a sunnier location. One of
the nicest lawns I've seen is in a front garden with four or five *big* Doug
firs interspersed throughout. The lawn is rich green and very lush, but the
lawns are irrigated and the firs are limbed up a good 15-20 feet, allowing a
fair amount of sunlight to penetrate. You will need to lime to counteract the
acidity, but thats more to keep the moss under control than for the benefit of
the lawn.

Some grass do but most don't because they don't get enough sun light

the tree is more powerful at sucking the water out of the ground so it is usually too dry and also too shady
