Speed of boarding - boarding via two sets of steps is quicker than via a single airbridge access at the front - same with disembarkation.
Ryanair use steps for the same reason - except they do it all the time, whatever the weather conditions.
However, airbridges are used whenever the weather is poor or deemed a better option (ie large number of PRM passengers).
