Because they are giving him one final chance and trying to impress upon him the seriousness of the situation. Having him living upstairs and paying rent and having other responsibilities is treating him like an adult.
It doesn't cost any more today when you consider an adult wage in 1964 was $105.00 a week and an apartment was around $90.00.
The OP called this child/adult "ungrateful, do nothing, unpleasant 22 year old kid". Is that someone you really think shouldn't be thrown out to learn a bit about life? I don't get you here; it's not like this is some really nice college kid that's a pleasure to be around.
They would like to just throw him out! But they also don't want him living on the street or moving in with someone that's a bad influence just because he needs a place to sleep. So, they would probably agree with elements of both of your and djpattie's thoughts on this.

A responsible adult would have moved out long ago.

Not at 22. Not with how much it costs this day and age.
