I think people's issue with it is it's just not very well thought out.
The bed store would never under any circumstance provide the bed for homeless people to access what world would that ever happen in? The problem is the homeless person doesn't have access to shelter but that's not the fault of the bed store that's the fault of the state.
The image seems to suggest that the bed store are holding all the beds for some kind of weird show of economic supremacy rather than you know the fact that it's a display room. No one's buying those beds they're display models.
No one is arguing that homeless people shouldn't be held but that particular image isn't really anything.
You've understood about 90% of the argument. That 10% is capitalism is the link between the bed store and the homeless person.
BTW, let's all go hold a homeless person. Unintentional wholesomeness.
Why don't we just convert all the bed stores into homeless shelters?
That way you can try out a bed, get some feedback from actual users (the homeless sleeping on the bed), all the store profits can go to pay for housing the homeless, AND government won't have to provide public housing!
It's a win-win, kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
