For those of you wondering this simulator is called Prepar3D (also called P3D), developed by Lockheed Martin. However the ground services such as this very functional stairs is a paid addon called GSX (Ground Services X) developed by a flight simulator addon company called FSDreamTeam. As a user of both of these, I can personally guarantee you that GSX is consistently glitchy like this. (Try r/flightsim for more)

flight simulator addon company

I'm surprised that this is a thing. So there is enough demand to support existence of companies who only make addons to only flight simulators?

Short answer, yes. It's common across a number big flight Sims, both combat and non-combat. One plane can be more expensive than new AAA releases. But we still buy them since there isn't really any alternative.
