I can't speak for everyone, but when they say it's not fair, it's generally not just that they don't like seeing a new solution that didn't exist before. It's that they think it's unfair because they're letting some people buy what they can't afford at the expense of those who were more responsible.
As you say, this isn't a long term solution. It's not making college more accessible in the long run. Conservatives are aware of that. Of course they're indignant at politicians bribing their target base at the expense of others without any real benefit to the nation.
