I bet OP is from the US. In Europe people park their cars anywhere they fit, on any side of the road or sidewalk. So many of their cities were built before personal cars became a thing, after all.
Where is “here” for you? I totally understand how it can vary by country. I was most recently in the UK, and I saw cars parked anywhere they could fit.
It’s only illegal in the UK in London (wierd exception, imo). On other places it’s down to local byelaws (our local council states that a car must allow enough space for a wheelchair to pass for example, although it’s rarely enforced).
This is in Europe, but the mildly infuriating part isn’t about the sidewalk, it’s about the car being crooked. If it were US these would probably all be SUVs.

Fair enough. Every country is different, as you correctly note.
