To avoid accidentally fucking something up by bumping a key? Maybe they only pull them forward when they have to change something.
It's probably also highly automated and the staff's job is just to watch for irregularities and alert the necessary teams.
I mean, I'm all for giving jobs to humans and all, but isn't monitoring a bunch of numbers and sending an alert when they go wrong one of the few things computers are actually objectively better at than humans are?
Edit: Holy crap people. I understand that they're probably not there for that purpose. That was the entire point I was trying to make. You don't ALL need to point out the obvious to me.
I think the computers do send the alert, via the screen to those people who then need to act on it.
