What our law makers have concluded (in public discussion) is that the current, actual laws "on the books" are not enforceable to any useful degree. For instance, the laws require a LEO to "observe" the illegal activity. I can report my neighbor for using illegal fireworks and even videotape them doing it and the police can't arrest them.Not sure that is a reasonable comparison - I would think a closer comparison would be speed enforcement on a country road. Is it worth the cost of enforcement on that road when there are more pressing problems (or more regular offenses on busy roads). I think that is more analogous to fireworks which are used illegally maybe twice a year. However regarding your example, I believe that it would be difficult to enforce a law that requires resources form private business with no benefit. Not sure where you live, but if the owner (of the lot) charged a market rate for use, how long would it take to recoup his investment for capital costs?
Further, the enforcement provisions are nebulous and the specifics actually favor the "offender" (things like fireworks "in excess of so many pounds"). So a guy has a stash of 200 lbs of fireworks In his garage but he's only setting off one areal that only weighs a pound when the LEO "sees" him. He'd likely walk from court - without charge or be acquitted. Also, the levels of charge are more in the misdemeanor range and rarely a felony (importing container loads of fireworks - for profit - is pretty much a felony.) Most other offenses are misdemeanors and no one takes someone to court for most misdemeanors. If they can't leverage a "guilty plea" out of court, it's a dead issue. No one pleads guilty to a fireworks offense because they know they won't be convicted - and if they are they might pay a small fine.
So, yeah, I think the comparison of laws I mentioned is appropriate. There are almost as many arrests/convictions for not having a charging station in a parking structure/lot (none) as there are fireworks arrests/convictions (almost none).
