To keep people (see: the homeless) from laying down and sleeping there. Look up hostile architecture/design (also, asshole design) for further examples.

This is like the least hostile of hostile architecture. It could easily be filled or have something placed over it for someone to sleep.

It's almost so minimally hostile that it might have some other intended purpose.

It's made of metal, so cold af to sleep on.

Could also have been a seat for the vertically challenged, like a 6yo.
