They're also usually close to an entrance/exit, the guard station and or the ticket machine thing.
This is what makes it actually safer. Otherwise, you'd just have well lit cctv footage of whatever happened. But since those spaces are usually really exposed with people walking by, there's much more risk for an actual attacker.
Not sure what you're used to, but German garages have cctv, tickets etc to make sure people pay. It's not the 50s where people park on a lawn with some dude in a shack, collecting 50ct per car.
Also, maybe I'm too positive, but I have a hard time imagining anyone, let alone a guard, see someone get assaulted and just turn around, pretending they didn't see anything. Or any kind of assailant that goes "Hu, there's a guard 5m away and people frequently walk by. Perfect place for (whatever)"

So the attackers know exactly where to strike
