You're not wrong, and maybe "hostile architecture" like this is cruel, but damn if I owned a business and I had homeless people setting up tents or loitering outside my door every night I'd probably find a way to stop it too. Spikes are a cheap and easy-to-deploy deterrent.

In a similar vein, I volunteer with a pigeon and dove rescue organization, and it's no secret that businesses install spikes on eaves and ledges to deter birds too. Although it always makes me sad to see them, I can understand and appreciate why they do it.
