Exactly. Pretty much every argument I see against removing parking boils down to 'The city gets denser with more nice things to the point I can't drive my SUV there any more!' A lack of parking is a symptom of a thriving location, not a problem. A real solution is more transit and more transit oriented development. Removing parking is a start through.

They do okay for the midday luck crowd, but they are empty by 6pm as everyone has gone to the suburbs. Lack of parking is a feature of thriving locations as well, but it isn't an indicator.
