Why don’t we think it the way around?
When you speak ひと with the meaning of “others”, you can write 他人. But there is a case I can think of now in which you should say たにん besides ひと. I can’t give you good explanation for it, sorry.
Let’s see with the example in the following situation.
女：あなたの助けが必要なの。何とかならない？(I need your help. Will you do something?)
男：いまは自分の仕事で本当に忙しいんだ、わかってくれ。(I’m really busy now with my own job, you see?)
女：他人（ひと）のことなんか構ってられないっていうの？結局、私なんかあなたにとって、所詮他人（たにん ）なのね。(You don’t mind about my affairs? So I’m just a casual buddy for you, after all.)
I’m quite not sure if my English works well here. I hope you can understand it with the good sense to Japanese.
I think I understand what you mean. It wouldn't have been a problem if it were just some other character, but it just felt strange to read 他人, which includes 人, as ひと.
