Because ROW literally has nothing to do with it besides leasing the parking spaces to Tesla. They don't own the charging hardware, they aren't responsible for maintenance or repairs of that hardware, they aren't involved with the electrical service, they didn't hire the contractors who built the station, etc. All of that is Tesla. If ROW was the one keeping the station closed it would only be by restricting physical access to the chargers, e.g. not letting people into the garage. Literally anything else is Tesla's full responsibility, ROW is entirely hands-off.
Tesla's charging partner website clearly states that the business owner must find and work with a Tesla certified electrical contractor. To me the business owner gathers the quote and submits to Tesla team for review. Upon approval from Tesla they probably issue a check for the quoted amount to the business owner. The business owner executes the contract with the contractor, and schedules the construction. This makes sense why would Tesla want to expose themselves to that risk of hiring the contractor directly to work on some unknown site/structure.
