Maybe if a certain AA had a serious fault that resulted in a part controlling the majority of the motion breaking but it didn't affect the ride itself, would you as a manager refuse to run a multi-million dollar attraction during the day just because one of the AAs is broken? Take into account, when you shut down a ride, you lose a pretty good bit of park capacity and therefore, daily profit.
It doesn't matter. There's a such thing as "show readiness" (or there USED to be), where if a ride racked up a certain amount of "points" for things broken down, it had to close. And sometimes it reached its quota by having one figure down.
Having a multitude of effects broken is poor show. Poor show reflects against the overall product.
