Do paramotors always land this way?

they dont want Joe Blog public low flying and taking sightseers over the power stations.
If that's the intention of the prohibited zones, then why do they prosecute (or at least, invite for tea without biscuits) VFR pilots that genuinely got a bit unsure of position, in marginal VMC conditions, while under radar guidance from ATC?

And why extend the zone all the way up to FL55? For that purpose, 1000' AGL would work just fine.
