The objection isn't that homeless people will use the service, it's that they'll effectively make it unusable by everyone else.
Yes, in an ideal world that wouldn't happen. But whether or not we should have homeless people, we do, so proposals need to take this reality into account. If you think you can "just fix" homelessness, then do that first and worry about transit after.
