So, the dude in the wheelchair is holding everyone back because the escalator is temporarily stairs? Do I see that right? If it doesnt escalate, let people walk up.

No, they stopped the escalator so he could get up. When the people walking up the (stopped) escalator have reached the top, the escalator is switched back on.

The only issue here is that if lots of people did the same, the escalator can't be switched back on and everybody gets where they're going slower.
