Cuomo wants a station there for the shoppers. Would roads need to be reconfigured just to put in a station that does not require an extra lot or a lot of commuters trying to get there? The tracks are a stones throw from the shopping center. I remember when I was young, I'd wander back there to the tracks while my parents were shopping, so it would easily be walkable.
If you want to discourage the use of the station for commuters, then just have all AM peak service skip the station and as most shoppers would be traveling reverse peak anyway. Then again, that 7 hour late afternoon to late evening gap in eastbound service would probably be the biggest issue with ridership.

I think it may be possible that NJ Transit might not be the perfect, infallible organization that most people assume it is.
