Maintenance is not very costly unless you operate them. If you aren't operating them, they would just collect dust. Your argument lacks some detail.
They have to train with them, so they do operate them. If they have them, I agree they must know how to operate them, and be practiced. As you know it is better to operate equipment than let it sit.
The only time they use them is for training and community fairs where they show them off.
Better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.
