I bet that it enabled miners to get back to mining quicker, as they didn't have to bring in a replacement canary to check if the air was safe yet. So I bet that's the financial justification for the expense.

If the canary doesn’t chirp, it probably does not function well as a warning system. You need to keep checking on it visually, which means you can only work within sight of it, and this limits your ability to work.
