especially the fat tire food delivery wheelchairs

I believe it’s to stop all delivery bikes entirely. That escalator use to break so often before those were put in. When the renovations happened, they added a bike rail along the side of the stairs, and signage on the steps imploring its usage; which were promptly ignored by the delivery twits. And so the really annoying, yet completely necessary bollards went in.

The best way to stop them would be to actually have enforcement on the Kitchener line! That's how a lot of them get downtown, blocking the trains during rush hour with 4+ ebikes per door

So my follow up question would be: why this station (and specific exit) and seemingly no other?

It's not the station property; that's 33 Bloor East. I'm pretty sure the property owners were just tired of having to repair the escalators.
On a side note, the accessible elevator at that location, with it's more secluded location and easy access from Hayden has long been used as a urinal by drunk students/homeless/whomever, so keeping the escalators running for those who can't manage the stairs is a boon.
