It's not a maintenance issue. It's a space issue. The mezzanines are reused. They go from open space for passenger use to some department that needs office or storage space, sometimes Police station use.
Its a security issue, less area to cover, less things to hide behind. It keeps the passengers in a smaller area.
One bad effect of stairloss is the elimination of channels for air flow. During the summer the stations have become hotter. Large volumns of air once flowed up those stairs.
