Why is this a problem? If X people take bikes into the city center in the morning, and then the same X people take bikes back out in the evening, that sounds balanced to me.

That only works if there are enough bikes for each bike to be used only once during the morning or evening commute. If you need to reuse a bike multiple times in one morning (say at 8am, 9am, and 10am) to serve everyone, it has to somehow go where someone will use it.
