Are you being purposefully obtuse? The point being that if there is only one point of exit in an emergency then you are more likely to get into a situation where that exit is blocked. if there are two exits than it is more likely that at least one of the exits is safe to use.
It’s recommended not to use an elevator if there is a fire, power could get cut or the car stuck from damage related to fire and you could get trapped.
There’s only the fire stairs where I live. I don’t understand why you would need another set of stairs considering everyone just uses the elevator.
in case there’s a fire on that set of stairs then you have a second option to get down safely
Because if that stairwell gets blocked by fire there is no way out.
But the second one has something different to stop the same problem from occuring? Or is it just the fact that there are two?
It’s just the fact that there are two. Redundancy is an incredibly common (and valuable) approach with safety critical features
Maybe I’m built different, but I would simply not be prevented from evacuating an emergency situation

Yes, that’s why there’s the fire stairs
