While that is true, you would have fewer elevator cars with a smaller total capacity (with the design where the elevator shafts go from top to buttom of the entire building) and each car would have to stop at more floors. By having some express elevators to upper skylobbies and other local elevators, a greater efficiency of space and time was achieved.
