I would assume that the routing/navigation argument is a valid one. The delivery van wants to stop as close as possible to the real entrance of the buildings, where he can ring the bell. In many case this is not on the building but on the entrance to the property.. I have a real case nearby (Mapillary image <https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/Q8nGIgfrQcaB8pUmaabUaQ>). This entrance gate has the house number 20, and the people live in the condominiums that are partially visible behind. Below the number-20 plate are the door bells and to the left the letter boxes. It is at this gate where the delivery van has to stop to ting the door bell.
