Did not see this before but have to reply anyways:
> there are loads of people who will angrily just do things that make my life worse.
But unfortunately, those are especially the users of those companies. I do not care if there are bikes parked at the side of the road (and do the same everyday myself) but a user who does not own said bike and is not forced to park it in a sensible way will, more often than not, just drop it whereever it is the most convenient, often in the way of others. I have seen people with a stroller walk on the street because someone parked their rented vehicle (especially cars are prone to this) at the next free spot that was free for exactly that reason.
I do not and never planned to obstruct anyone else path with a bike because it obstructed my path (and can honestly not understand why you would think anything like this from my comment as I especially point that out), but the users of these services do and I feel helpless against those everyone-but-themself ignoring humans (and to cite you, those are the people 'that make my life worse').
