The article seems to ignore the fact that many people use the shopping cart as a walker substitute. It's an accessibility aid and it's genuinely difficult for some folks to return the cart and walk back to their car.

You could be right if people drove standing up. When seated, the pressure on the lower back (L3, L4, L5, S1 vertebrae) is reduced and you can drive perfectly.

I noticed that myself, and confirmed with a friend: when you begin to get some harsh backpain (before getting a surgery), you find it pleasant to go shopping and be the one using the shopping cart all the way through.

The coin operated carts are wonderful and I'm glad that most European stores use them. Why this is so bothersome to North American shoppers I'll never know (actually I think I do know after watching some of the clips).
