If so, then what's stopping someone - the city, a donor, a local company - from retrieving the bikes and coming up with a plan to get them to people in need, or sell some to raise money to repair others, and then donate the repaired bikes.

Yes, this is fucked up, but I don't get all the hand-wringing and lamenting. Get the fucking bikes and do some good.
