I don't know, does making enough to expand mean they can spare 100k just for renovations? That, and the article specifically mentions the people that file these lawsuits are grabbing for money.

I'm all for making things more accessible but these sort of cases are exactly what makes people less sympathetic and willing to help.

Like it or not, this is actually how the ADA was intended to be used, instead of creating "ADA police," it relies on mostly enforcement brought on by private parties.

What makes people less sympathetic to help, exactly, when I walk up to a business owner in obvious pain and ask for an extra disabled parking space so I can make it to my desk and car with less?

The lack of sympathy is up front before the lawsuits begin, and lies with the business owner.
