No parking requirements are a gift to developers, who will still charge full market rates, thus pocketing more profits. They're developers, not service providers. Slogging through the rain with our groceries, small children, or pushing our walkers substantially decreases our quality of life, assuming we can meet all our needs even walking. Public transportation is inadequate to even start to meet the need.

It's delusional to think you can build, say, a hundred unit apartment and maybe a couple of hundred driving age residents, and assume none of them will own cars and that they will all find enough public transit to meet their needs. Planners need to remember they work for us, we don't live to fulfill their urban fantasies.
