Because the street is public space, you do not have a right to a parking space on the street, there are not enough parking spaces on the street for everybody, and if you depend on one, you will always be subject to losing it through reasonable regulations, time restrictions, metering, whatever. that is why we have offstreet parking requirements, because local residents are not entitled to monopolize the street for their private benefit. And if we don't make them have off street parking, then it becomes a fierce NIMBY issue the minute "others" want to use "their" parking.
