So in some cases it may just be a matter of the business requesting one?
If the space in front of the business was city owned, that would be an easy solution (Assuming there is space for both bikes and sidewalk). When I worked at the airport in Breslau, it wasn't too difficult to get the region to agree to a bike rack at the front of the terminal. [The operations manager at the time did inform me it was a bit of a fight, as they had to work it into their budget... but he did make it happen].
Plaza's are private property, and I can't see the city installing infrastructure at no cost there.

The problem with car oriented plazas is their inaccessibility from the sidewalk.
