"A dead mall is a shopping mall with a high vacancy rate or a low consumer traffic level, or that is deteriorating in some manner."
I don't really know anything about escalators, but my guess is that is a safety issue.
I'm certainly not an expert either, but logically an immobile escalator disconnected from power is (to borrow the Mitch Hedberg bit) simply stairs! They don't block off stairways in buildings and force everyone to use the elevator...
