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.

I don't know, I do it all the time.
Easy to get a quick cab from the station though.
