No longer true at Malaga.
They have built extensions recently to gates on Pier B and C directly prior to the airbridge which are steps/lifts down to the ground so they can board via the forward and rear steps. Pier D (Schengen only) also has the option built in as standard.
I can only presume it's because of RYR is the largest carrier at AGP.
I haven't seen any other carrier besides RYR use this however; EZY, LS, etc, still use the airbridge on the same gates.
