The issue many people have with antibiotics and hormones aren't always about what is made into the food. (Though, yes, there are a lot of people that worry about that.)
Issues around proper usage of antibiotics, especially now with the constant emergence of new resistant strains of bacteria is one concern, along with proper disposal and excess dosage making it into the environment. There are also animal welfare issues and concerns, I'm unfortunately not well-versed enough in ranching to know how true those are. (And as a vegetarian find growing animals for food repulsive to begin with.)
Hormones stem again from animal welfare issues.
It's unfair to just toss out all concerns over hormones and antibiotics just because some concerns aren't merited or as merited.
