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

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.
