Hey, I could go buy a handicapped sign and be done with it. Good parking, wide stalls. Problem solved, right?
But the cost would be that I would then be taking a spot that I think others are more likely to need.
I just see this issue as common courtesy.

I get what you're saying, but common courtesy is please, thank you, holding the door if someone is right there, not parking in the stalls for pregnant people, etc.
As nice as the thought is, expecting people to avoid parking in certain areas of a parking lot because of the 1/100 guys that MIGHT have a bum knee or are a "car guy" is not a fair ask.
It's the parking lot. You can park wherever you'd like, but you should also expect that others are going to park wherever they like. There is no social construct or unwritten rules that society follows. Tiny groups make up their own, but it's not relevant to most of the population of drivers.
If you don't want someone parking beside you, why not take up two spots? It's a dick move, but at least you'll be responsible for the well being of your vehicle/person, not putting it in the hands of others.
