I think at this point, in most cases, arbitration is meant to fill the role of
1. keeping PR problems hidden (such as sexual harassment, etc) by keeping them out of open court, and
2. a way of practically eliminating legal liability by stopping class action lawsuits.
I don't think those entities that deploy arbitration on a mass scale really care about the efficiency of the court system at all.
