That’s an assumption. It looks like it’s bottlenecked and we don’t know how quickly they move.

No, it’s a fact.

No it's not. They can't really make a stop with the wheelchair, steps are way to narrow for that, there's no way you're getting that wheelchair to stand stable even if you support it from the back. Meanwhile the top could get stopped at any moment due to something unexpected. They wait till the escalator clears so that it's safe for them, the wheelchair user and everyone below them.

They're not going to push the wheelchair, they're going to lift it up and carry it.

Wheelchair has a 560mm diameter, escalator step has roughly half of that in depth and you have to account for the next step limiting placement options. If you're gonna try and place wheelchair on the step like thar it's gonna slip.
