Well, a scooter is much smaller than a bike therefore less of a nuisance (though the last bit depends on who you ask/how much of a NIMBY you are).

Also there are dockless bikes, see Jump in SF.

I've seen birds left around private property around campuses (e.g. businesses). Why would a business complain about a bike leaning against their wall but not a bird? They are both foreign objects leaning up against their wall. Is size really important here?

Shouldn't a business like having a signal attracting someone to their store?

I can't tell if this is sarcasm. You don't get to decide what goes on someone else's property, it's simply not your property.

Honestly, the downvotes here surprise me a lot. I always thought the HN community was in support of private property laws.

... until someone trips over a scooter left on your property, leaving you liable.
