These are the common reasons for not trying to save money.
My experience when the conditions are within parameters, the number of times an APU off arrival is done, maybe 5%.
SE taxi, seen it 5 times in the last year, and about the same previous years.
It would be interesting to see the actual data from the company. No doubt my experience could be skewed for an number of reasons.
