Maybe the difference is that one worked with the city / people to set it up, and the other mostly dumped a bunch of bikes everywhere? (and doesn't pay for any of the negative externalities that comes with it).

People have been known to throw bikes of the city-sanctioned system (Velib) in the river too. Apparently 16000 were vandalized in the first two years of operation alone.
