In my 44 years of traveling around the USA I have never had staying at a Wal-Mart or any other parking lot as my only option and it will always be the very last place other than an active landfill dump where I would choose to spend the night.
There are zero advantages to staying at a public parking lot and I always know in advance where I am going to be the following day and what my options are for spending the night. If I can make it to a city where there is a Wal-Mart than I can make it to any one of a hundred places in the area where I can stop and sleep.
There is a misguided herd mentality that drives people to think that Wal-Mart is the only free place to safely spend the night with an RV when nothing could be further from reality.
The attractive thing is there is a Wal Mart in every town. Easy to find and they will have all the supplies needed before continuing on. It is a matter of convenience. From your post I see it is not for you but to call it a misguided herd mentality shows you have no tolerance for opinions other than your own. Which I find misguided.
If I am less than a day from my final destination and it is late evening I find it convenient to get the provisions I need at the same store I am familiar with at home and be on the road early the next morning. You may feel different but I don't find you misguided for that. You just have a different opinion and I'm good with that.
