Means testing is a burden on the state and the poor. In most cases it costs more money than it saves (millionaires are a small percentage of the population but the bureaucracy of means testing applies universally) and means it takes longer and is more complicated for the poor to get access.
UBI has no means testing for several very good reasons.
