I think once you've decided to allow all properties to have a secondary suite and a laneway suite with no added parking you're going to have issues.
On new construction multi-family I agree developers will still put in parking. But the people converting SFH to multiple dwellings are much more likely to say "just park on the street"
My next door neighbor has an (illegal) basement suite. The single person who lives there parks 2 vehicles on the street, which uses up a big % of the available street parking. If they added a backyard suite and no parking that wouldn't be great, imo. If they were required to add a parking pad I'd have no issue with them adding a backyard suite.
