When I drove a company van for work, they forced me to park like that. Their reasoning was it’s too hard to see to back out and could lead to accidents. Which never made sense, because backing into a space has the same issue if the space is flanked by two parked cars and I can’t see well enough behind me to line it up.
You can see both sides on the mirrors so it’s almost impossible to hit the cars next to you and it’s very unlikely there’s someone standing behind you on the parking space.
Fender benders on a grocery store parking lot when backing out is probably the most common type of road accident.

Backing in is safer because you have better visibility at the critical moment when you need to block another lane while backing up.
