I think this stop is something very American. In Europe it's very rare to see a stop for the cars. You just learn to drive correctly. American drivers are just worse at driving than European ones, because your streets and parking spaces and literally anything else car related is just huge. And same with parking spaces. You are used to having a stop, so you only learn how to park correctly if there is a stop.
Much as the dutch have mastered the design of new roads to separate them from pedestrian and cycling paths, stop blocks are simply a good feature.
Many buildings in Europe aren't even handicapped accessible (such as old buildings, cramped buildings) and that doesn't mean European disabled folks are "better" wheelchair operators, it just means antiquated spaces aren't always designed with modern best practices.
Stop blocks keep people safe, and ensure access for those like the disabled.
It's not that Europeans are "better drivers" ,(evidence: this picture), it's that it isn't a law there, and isn't part of the design of the spaces these parking spots are in.
There are some parkings with stop blocks in Europe, but they're more of an exception rather than a norm. What I think is a better solution, is to have a wider sidewalk with some trees, shrubs, lamp posts, etc. right next to the curb, that act as a natural limit for how far people will park their car.
