Based on your logic, people wouldn't be taking taxis/uber to the airport. It is both more expensive and takes longer, but people do it all of the time for the comfort and the quiet (which allows them to work).

This is being built for business travelers. Many people fly in and out of Chicago on a Monday-Thursday schedule, they will use this train. All of those people will now be in a separate tunnel and everyone else will have more room on the highway and Blue Line. Sounds like a win to me.
