If I remove it from the areas, however, at least iD no longer thinks 
they are parking lots.

I think you and I must have different definitions of "parking".

- Did you shut off the engine?
- Did you engage the parking brake?
- Did you exit and lock the vehicle?
- Are your hazard flashers *not* on?

If the answer to any of the above is 'yes', you may be "parked". If the 
answer to *all* of the above is 'yes', you are almost surely parked.

Note that there is nothing in that list about how *long* you expect to 
be away.

If you stop at a rest area, expecting to only run in and use the 
facilities and then leave again (so, less than ten minutes), do you say 
your vehicle is "parked" when you walk away from it?

For that matter, the signs themselves even say "15 minute *parking*" or 
"*parking* for to-go only" (emphasis added).

As Paul notes, these are spots where you are allowed to "park" and go 
inside to get your food. I'm inclined to agree with that distinction. (I 
might add to that "...for non-emergency purposes". A shoulder on a 
highway isn't "parking" even though you may need to leave your vehicle 
to go get help if your car breaks down.)

FWIW, 
https://www.myparkingsign.com/MPS/No-Parking-No-Standing-No-Stopping.aspx 
roughly defines "parking" as "leaving the vehicle unattended". That 
said, legal definitions can and do vary.
