So they can open them I guess for landscaping etc

There's bollards that can be folded down, or retract into the ground for regular traffic like buses or service vehicles.

Sure, but those are pretty expensive I'd imagine

A removable bollard is just a post in a hole

Not sure if the term landscaping covers plowing, but if there is snow in the winter it makes sense to open them to plow the area.
