100% agree with you on that and one of the reasons I've used so many of the locations near me is that I can't count on any particular location in my area to have 100% availability for one-ways. In many cases, my bookings require me to make them weeks in advance and/or monitoring availability on a daily basis to see if a more convenient location opens up.

For example, the locations I use for one ways are shown in your example above as having no availability. Normally, a few weeks in advance, at least one of the four or five locations around NYU will show yellow and I will book that, as it's within reasonable walking distance for me. But, I will keep looking to see if the garage closest to me turns yellow and move my reservation there.
