It is basically preventative maintenance in my eyes. I don't like door dings, and damage on my car. It doesn't matter if it's my BMW, my VW, or my motorcycle. I am being courteous to all parties involved. Myself, and someone else by:
a) Freeing up a premium space closer to the door for those that don't care about door dings.
b) Absolving them of any liability if they do ding my car. Because if I see you do it, you are 100% liable to pay.
If someone obviously goes out of their way to park far away, to avoid the cost of door dings and paint scuffs, it does kinda show an "FU and your fancy car." attitude when someone blatantly parks right next to you if you've parked in a remote spot like the ones pictured above with the arrows when there are sometimes hundreds of others to choose from that are not next to anyone. It is no different than a family setting up their lawn chairs and picnic on a kilometre long empty beach, and some one else showing up and setting up right next to them. There is no rule saying you can't I guess... but it is an inconsiderate dickhole move.
And yes, it could be a young kid with his first brand new Toyota Yaris, or a multi-millionaire with a $300k Ferrari. When you see that car, all by it's lonesome, in the middle of nowhere, at an obviously inconvenient distance from the door... unless you were born yesterday, it is obvious that owner just wants to protect their car for whatever reason because they take pride in it.
