I seem to remember it actually being designed to include wheelchair users.

My friend who is relying on a wheel chair to do anything found it ridiculous. It makes no difference, when you can just sit right next to the bench.

Edit: requested rephrasing

No, it is designed to be anti-homeless. The wheelchair angle is the fig leaf. Someone above pointed out you don't need a hole in a bench to sit in a wheelchair, the wheelchair could be anywhere. The person in the wheelchair is already always sitting.
