And then when you had climbed to the 32nd floor in the stairwell found the door screwed shut forcing you to make use of the pry bar you carried up 32 floors.
...or realize you left the pry bar AND explosive breaching crap in the truck and you have to jump all the way back down and up again.
I think it has more to do with an entire team being sitting ducks in a cage when the elevator doors open. As well as how easy it would be to booby-trap an elevator, probably. Stairwells, too, but I would think that you'd have more of a chance to see those traps and bypass them...
Although you could take the cart up to 2-3 floors below (or above) the incident and then make your way via the stairwell. Or so I would imagine. I'm not an expert on tactics by any means.
I'm no tactical expert either.
I assumed it was because a well trained terrorist plot might include plans to disable the elevator trapping the SWAT team inside.
ETA....Fire crews don't use tthe elevator because the fire might disable the elevator on the trip up.

It would take me all day to climb 32 floors.
On 911 some of the first responders climbed 80 or more flights.
Some of them took the fast ride down tho.

No kidding. I go the the nearest parking garage 3-4 times a week to walk the stairs and still yet, by the time I complete the first 5 floors I’m needing oxygen and a beer.
Me, neither, but I can damned sure play one while I'm sitting in the dentist's chair hopped up on nitrous waiting on the novacaine to take effect.
