Is this not the same thing that barges do?
No one is talking about setting up shop and sitting there all day.
This is about lowering dock posts to make it safer for seaplanes to pickup and drop off/and or come to the store for ice cream or whatever else they do. Same as the boaters do.
Also, if the dock is full then the plane can't come in, same as a boat.
What am I missing?

What you're missing is that once you mention the following:
All we are asking for is a place safe and equal access to
pick up and drop off, based on a reservation system.
then you make the transition from a seaplane owned by a private citizen who would like to stop at the town docks to run into the store into a commercial tour operator in the same way the M/S Mount Washington and her sister ships operate. CowTimes couldn't have said it any better, and you seem like a smart person, so I'm sure you see the difference and are just trying to minimize the ask in the eyes of the public with the "it's just a few posts that need lowering". I can't see the town opening itself up to the increased liability that comes from having an airplane charter service operating from their dock. It sounds like a great business idea, just something that needs to be run from a private dock.
