I don’t know if/how you’ve never seen wind catch a shopping cart, but it can hurtle those fucking things. Mercifully it tends to me worst with the plastic ones because there’s more surface area, but I’ve seen one of those smack a car head-on at like 25 kph on flat terrain.
You can go look up videos of even pretty modest winds gently pushing metal shopping carts around; they look like they’re possessed.
Even on flat lots on windless days, you’re not sticking it to the man; you’re just being a jackass making someone’s already insufferable retail job even less sufferable over 10 seconds of returning a cart.

Here’s the thing. I am aware that wind exists. I’ve seen wind. I’ve even seen it push shopping carts like you describe.
This isn’t a problem in every parking lot, particularly underground ones. And it’s still just as much of a problem with these pictured carts.
So people aren’t really upset about the wind.
