As a general rule, "if you don't like this rule we're adding, don't take advantage of it" is a pretty terrible argument. It's absolutely fair to say that a rule shouldn't be implemented while also acknowledging that if it is, it is the best strategy to take advantage of it if it is.
For instance, imagine if the NFL decided to give up to two extra points after a touchdown for how stylishly the players celebrated, as voted by a panel of judges in the end zone. This would be a terrible addition in most people's eyes. If it went through anyway, though, you can bet that every team would start dancing their hearts out after each touchdown.

Implementing UBI nationally in the US would almost certainly require a constitutional amendment, which is going to require overwhelmingly positive sentiment about it from the electorate. Individuals remaining opposed at that point will have the same fiscal recourses they have to not liking NASA sending probes to Mars.
