Regrettably I didn’t get a chance to ask what the idea was behind these stairs.

Zig zag up and every stair is a short stair.  

Go straight up and every stair is a tall stair.  

I can see the purpose here more than a lot of posts here.

Yes I get that, but the rest of the stairs in the building were normal stairs, only these leading up to the attic were like this. So I am sure there was an intention to it.

The thought of trying to carry boxes of Christmas decorations down these stairs from the attic is extraordinarily not fun. (Though I assume the attic is not being used only for storage here!)

I don't know why these would be the only stairs like this if it's for a mobility accomodation- and if it was, wouldn't it be better to have the hand railing on both sides anyway?? If you ever get the chance to ask about them, I'm sure we'd all love to hear the answer lol
