There are plenty of horrible and inconsiderate parkers out there. I have a friend who calls them "Approximate Parkers." In addition to that though, I think commercial real estate developers want to maximize the number of parking spaces the can fit into a lot for a mall, motel, restaurant or office complex. So they take a few inches off each side of each space. It gets to the point where even if every car parks perfectly straight and centered in their space, cars side by side cannot open their doors without risk of their doors touching the car parked next to them. Now add in some Escalades, Super Duty Crew Cabs and other oversize vehicles, along with the Approximate Parkers and see what happens.
