Why do the arm rails on escalators often move at a different rate than the stair

(1/1)

rickcottle:
I gather it's because the arm rails are connected to a different system than the stairs are.  However why would the escalator be designed in this way in the first place.  Why not connect the two systems so both the stairs and the arm rail move at the same pace?
