The difference is it is quite likely that the parking ticket cost is higher than the profit, even revenue you made while parked there. So there is a real incentive to at least try and avoid them.
Consider the case if a parking ticket was 5c - why would (absent other disincentives) delivery drivers ever obey parking signage?

"Under the program, the type of violation determines the ticket’s outcome. For example, double-parking in some parts of the city is a violation that can be erased completely for commercial vehicles. Violations for blocking a crosswalk or a bike lane can only be reduced by about 15 percent. Fines for blocking a driveway can be knocked down by 75 percent. To date, 312 companies are enrolled in the program, including heavyweights like UPS, FedEx, Verizon, Coca-Cola and Time Warner Cable, which are the city’s biggest commercial offenders."
