Cabs get you right to the address you want to go though. This will still have the last mile problem.

That is a good point, but they're less reliable during rush hour. I could see people taking this to the loop and then walking to their address if they're close, otherwise grabbing a short cab or uber from there.

For business travelers in Chicago the last mile problem from the middle of the loop is at worst a 10 minute walk.

Cabs in Chicago also are incredibly terrible with rude drivers. Uber is definitely a better option.

That's substantially less of an issue in a dense urban environment like Chicago.

How is walking half a mile with luggage less of an issue?

If that's a problem, you just grab a relatively* cheap cab or Uber/Lyft from where you are to the Boring station.
* "Relatively cheap" compared to taking the cab all the way to O'Hare.

Easy to get a quick cab from the station though.
