Yes indeed, it is multifaceted and there are many reasons any one person is following the rules. But I was trying to give a plausible explanation for why one might do so, even if it doesn't make strict sense to them to use a Shabbat mode elevator (the user I was replying to asked how does this make any sense, if you're trying to avoid labor during Sabbath), further outlining the idea that there are incentives other than belief that God said so. In the case of the Sabbath elevator, obviously it was not mentioned explicitly in the Bible, so it's what the Rabbi thinks. So why believe the Rabbi when the logic doesn't seem to be 100% there? I think the reason is there is massive social incentive to comply instead of asking questions about such widely accepted ideas. It does seem you're speaking from more personal experience than mine, so I defer to you, but I'd like to reiterate that I'm just trying to provide a plausible explanation for why one who doesn't have such a strong belief might still end up doing it (the hypothetical person in the post of the poster I was replying to who's asking themselves why a Sabbath elevator makes sense), but I'm not trying to say that's all there is to it. People who don't question it in the first place because their thought process is that the Halacha is telling them what God meant and thus they are merely following God's instructions don't question whether a Shabbat elevator makes sense in the first place.
