Moving Parts

I am always amazed at people riding "down" escalators. 
Walking down a flight of stairs requires very little energy. 
Standing on a moving staircase requires zero energy. 
Why don't people on the escalator walk down the last few steps? 
Why do they ride it 'til the very end? 
Is it a fear of the terrifying dismount at the bottom? 
Or is it that people are just very, very lazy?
