it was really just a slip, see for example here, I added in 2012 that this should not be alternative but additional tagging:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Aamenity%3Dparking_space&type=revision&diff=759511&oldid=713785

It was always clear that parking_space was for a single parking space and the back then already well established “parking” was for a bigger site with multiple spaces.
