Oh, well if they are ugly, then that's okay. Fuck people, we need pretty hardscaping at shopping malls.

You cannot place ballards everywhere a car can hit a person, c'mon.

You can put them in front of fucking plate glass storefronts in a parking lot.

You really think a car can hit somebody ONLY at a glass storefront. No other location is actually possible.
Why not put bollards everywhere in front of every single structure?

Jesus, are you really willing to die on this hill?
You are the only one complaining about putting bollards everywhere. In this case, in a shopping mall, bollards are appropriate, and would have saved life and limb, literally.

No, alright you're good, I agree. Spend money on bollards instead of checking drivers who can induce harm. Maybe it's a better solution.

This is a case of "you can only control what you are capable of controling". The property owners could have placed ballards for protection (and even done something like planters to prevent it from being ugly). The business could choose something other than a glass front, as they are allowed to make changes.
What could they have done about drivers specifically? The only people who could have is the government, who can't place the ballards.
